I'm bypassing the OE "cooler" as my current summer trans. temps. are 122*-172* via gauge in the hot line coming from the trans.; therefore, the aftermarket cooler would be fighting the OE cooler heating the fluid to whatever my coolant temp is, typically 175-190* (170* stat.) which is obviously counterproductive.

Be careful not to cool under 122* as OE torque converter lockup is 122*-176*. Outside of this range your fuel mileage will suffer so you definitely want to be within this temp. range on the highway. In winter I have to block some of my cooler to keep temps. above 122*!



Are you using the VR transmission yet or still OE?

That's a nice line kit and a good solution for those with leaky and/or degrading rubber lines.
