I took my radiator apart and by the looks of it it appers that the purpose is not to cool as much as to maintain a steady temperature to the trans. I'll take a picture of the "cooler" if I can get a camera but it appears that it's just a hollow copper pipe

Its just like how they refer to the powersteering line that runs up front as the "power steering cooler" even though you look at the thing and think to yourself wtf do they think that is cooling. That line in the rad should help keep it from overheating, but a aftermarket cooler will do the job better.

Believe it or not, some of the aftermarket trans coolers are no more than what we have.
