Transmission Cooler
#11
I think one question is: what is the real benefit of this besides using the one intregated in the radiator? Better performance, cheaper repair down the road? and how long do you plan on keeping your H3? because any upgrades/new parts are going to last a while. I have 65k on mine and the only thing I've replaced is all the fluids everywhere and the vehicle is totally different. Smoother, less vibration it feels like. I guess it's all in the eyes of the beholder.... good luck
On the opposite side, the tranny fluid heats up slower and may not reach as high of a temperature as with the stock system. For me it takes a little longer for the torque converter to lock up when its really cold out. My tranny fluid probably will not reach 170-180 F during my normal drive.

You might have to search for pictures showing the original design and the slice worn into the top tank.
Perhaps someone can explain this more clearly for you than me.

Thanks CHP. After reading the trans temps with the stock setup on link you provided I just ordered the Hayden 405. It gets real hot here and heat will kill a tranny. We also tow short distances. Not to mention if the radiator fails and I get anti freeze in the tranny.

When I get past the "magic" 50K mark, I will be installing either the B&M or the Flex-a-lite below and bypassing the OEM radiator all together. I am going with a cooler/fan combo due to the lack of air flow when wheeling plus the BA bumper/Winch upfront blocks even more air flow and the mounting locations are endless.
