Should I buy this:

My thought process is that by eliminating the stock radiator at this point would reduce the chance of any contamination, and the unit "sounds" like it has additional cooling capacity compared to the stock setup, that would either directly or indirectly help with the AT temps, while being a simple plug n play stock replacement.
So would you people suggest I get that, and/or, the stillen external cooler here:

Should I get one or the other or both?
It seems with the stillen external kit, there's some issue around the fitting sizes not being correct, thus requiring additional parts to make it work without the risk of leaks (the plan is to have the dealer install it so... yeah...), outlined here:
Stillen 7AT coolers installed?
I owe everyone on here a thank you for being helpful, def a better forum experience than others I've belonged to in the past! |
The dealer should flush the lines and the AT radiator before installing the new trans. Personally, I'd go with an external cooler, rather than replacing the entire radiator/condenser assembly. Replacing the radiator/condenser means evacuating and recharging the AC system, something else to suck up $$. I think the reason some people had a challenge with Stillen's trans cooler is that they didn't go far enough back on the hard lines before clamping the hoses. The coolers that I've installed have used a similar setup, but I cut the hard lines to remove the ends, double clamped the hose to hardline and never had a leak. I'm going to presume that the hard lines on our car threads into the radiator, so the other option is to find an adapter that threads on the connector to the hard line, then connects with the rest of the Stillen system.
