Expert Reply:
For your 2006 Mitsubishi Raider, the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/ NPT Inlets - Class I -Extra Efficient # D13611 is a small but strong transmission cooler. It requires no extra fittings for installation.
For a better transmission cooler, I recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets - Class III - Efficient # D13503. This cooler is designed for Mitsubishi Raiders with late-model, electronic overdrive transmissions. This cooler is a Class III versus a Class I so it will be much more efficient at cooling the fluid based on the amount of air flow over each tubing run within the unit.
These kits come with the plastic mounts for connecting to a radiator, but you may be interested in the Derale Universal Bendable Metal Mount Kit # D13002 for a stronger mount to your vehicle.
