I don't see why you can't but Tranny cooler kits a rather cheap and give you everything needed for the setup! I wouldn't if i were you.

Re: new useage for a/c CONDENSER?????
dont think it would cause any problems seeing as its just a small radiator. i guess it would be a free alternative to buying a kit and its much larger. make sure you flush it out really good and let us know how it works... aslo its pretty big so you will probably need to add another quart of tranny fluid to it. make sure you put the intake line on the bottom that way it wont trap air.

1991, yes you can use it for a trans cooler. We used to use them years ago when we lived in the desert and could not afford a trans cooler. They worked well just make sure to clean it out before using it and make sure to blow it out with air before the install.

Hey UNCLE TOM, good to hear from another old phart. At some point when my health agrees I would like to get down your way and check out your ride. I am getting the Iroc ready for a run to Reno, highway 395 through Mammoth Mountain, the first of November, hopefully before the first snow. Take care, Jim
