trans cooler selection
Hello everyone, I am in the market for a transmission cooler. I have been shopping around and found a couple good runners but thought I would post what I think would be good and get some insight from some others. I was thinking about either running this one http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...1&pgGrp=catNav
Or
http://m.ebay.com/itm/380889537511?nav=SEARCH
This one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't do any towing just driving/ weekend racing. And the trans is a c4 powered by a 302

stupid internet connection sucked and didn't know if I posted or not cause it kept saying failed attempt, or something along those lines so my apologies, if anyone knows how to delete them I will do so.

It is made for a 7.3 so it may be a little over kill, but hopefully someone who knows a good amount about Tranys will chime in. But thanks for the help

i think one might have a hard time overcooling a c4 in a truck, but i could be wrong.
FWIW, the factory towing package on my 2000 explorer kept the transmission temperature below 100°F in the winter and below 160°F in the summer. Many say that is too low, and perhaps they are right, but it did not hurt the service life of the transmission (had 175k on it when i sent it down the road).
there are many on this forum that know a great deal more about transmissions than I do, and even some of them say that overcooling a transmission can cause problems -- they are probably right -- but i'm not one that spends much time worrying about it. If it were really that much of a concern, then the big 3 would have addressed it much sooner than they did.

There is a U-Tube video present by Ram where the program manager for the new 3.5L V6 penastar engine and the the new 8 speed auto trans states that 193F is optium efficiency temperature for the transmission fluid. The new design incorporates a heat exchanger using exhaust gas to bing the the auto trans temperature up to 193F, even in freezing cold ambient temperatures, quickly.
Noticed on a chevolet suburban there is a plate type auto trans oil cooler that is the only heat exchanger used to cool the oil. Meausure ~ 8" X 8". The plate type exchanger is not connected in series with the radiator.
The Ford explorer and expediation with towing package uses a conventional fin type oil cooler in series with the regular cross flow radiator.
Picked up a plate type oil cooler at help yourself salvage yard last weekend for $10 from a chevy surburban. Got the one with 3/8" FNPT connections rather than the swivel O ring style.
