I just bought and installed a B&M supercooler tranny cooler model #70268. I saw a write up on here about how to install this, but it in the write up they keep using the stock cooler. I found it alot easier not to and was wondering if thats ok to just use the B&M? Will it be enough if I were to say spray some nitrous? Or really beat on my car at the track??

Should be fine to run without stock cooler in the radiator because the B&M should have much greater heat dissipation... but you could also run it AFTER the stock one.

Yeah, I think I'll redo it tomorrow.

Hey let me know how the install goes. What was the price of the cooler? Im hoping to flush my tranny soon and maybe add the cooler at the same time. Details?

B&M alone is probably 10-15% better than stock cooler, but B&M along with stock cooler is much much better for your tranny. Installation is pain, but I think is worth it.
Where did you purchased B&M from?

It shouldnt be a pain to install. You put in front of the radiator and run the tubes...JEGs has the B&M super cooler.

It really isn't a pain. The hardest part is where and how you mount the cooler and I got the cooler from a local speed shop.

Cooler should be mounted in front of the radiator so to get the most cold air. Should be able to mount it to the radiator with supports and some padding.

Yeah I know where it gets mounted , but that's probably the most difficult part about it. And it actually get's mounted to the condenser not the radiator.

Yeah thats what I meant. It wasn't directed at you tho. Directed at nitink.

Another thing guys , when I had the b&m alone the shifts were smoother. Then when I added the stock one the shifts weren't as smooth until it warmed up.
