That is the power steering cooler (small one) the other is the air conditioning condenser. The trans cooler is behind that.

no i didnt mess wit it just took both lines off the trans and put one end in a pail and blew it out w/ air compresser some small little black chunks came out with some creamy white w/ red trans fluid. Would running dual coolers be a good idea

Sounds like water got into the tranny. I would flush the transmission.

I have something right behind the grill that i think is the transmission cooler, i think someone moved it cause it had square bolts in it, i don't even know if its a stock one or a bigger one.
