The biggest reason that transmission cooler manufacturers and vehicle manufacturers want transmission coolers installed after the factory cooler rather than before it is because the transmission cooler in the radiator is surrounded by the coolant in the radiator. The transmission fluid leaving the radiator mounted cooler can be cooled further by the aftermarket transmission cooler.
Installation before the OEM radiator mounted transmission fluid cooler would negate most or all of the aftermarket... view full answer...
The factory transmission cooler in most vehicles is integrated into the radiator. What this does is actually warm the cooler to the temperature of the radiator. A supplemental cooler does not touch the radiator so it will actually stay cooler than the factory cooler. So if you were to run the fluid through the supplemental cooler first you would cool the fluid and then once it went through the factory cooler it would warm back up to a certain extent.
So the best way to route the cooler... view full answer...
