Tranny Cooler mounting placement?

Where are you guys mounting your trans coolers on the radiator to get the best cooling for your trans? I'm looking to reposition mine to get some better cooling. Thanks.

i mounted mine directly in the center of the radiator in front of it. I don't have an A/C condensor, otherwise it would be mounted in front of that as well.

I prefer on offset on my mountings.

Basically mount it in front of radiator/condenser but off to the side as far as possible while still managing to get air.

I believe this lets more air still get to the radiator since our cars are bottom breathers.

later
