I was at Natrad this morning getting a new radiator when I got to talking to the manager about auto trans coolers. He said mounting it in the usual position behind the grill, hence in front of the upper section of the radiator can lead to more problems with engine cooling. This is due to the waste heat from the trans cooler heating up the air going to the radiator and therefore potentially causing overheating problems.

Has anyone heard of this problem before?

I have looked often at some of the mounting places and thought there would be cooling issues.

mind, the aircon cooling is usually in front of the engine cooling and this seems to be fine

No. If your radiator is sufficiently sized for your vehicle and in good working order then your trans cooler, oil cooler, A/C condensor, Inter cooler and all the other shit that is factory fitted infront of radiators won't make a fucking difference.

Besides, the trans cooler will be about 1/4 the size of your radiator anyway, so if that gives you cooling issues, then you had best look at your radiator.
