Since my 5R55E seems to be running a bit hot (it's not uncommon for me to go over 200 at highway speeds and stop-and-go traffic on hot days) I'm thinking about adding an auxiliary transmission cooler.
I like to do as little modification to my vehicle as possible. I'd like to know if anyone else has done a setup something like this, which is what I'm considering:
Keep the TOC hard lines in place. Where they connect with the cooler that's integrated into the radiator, unscrew them and replace them with T-fittings (or Y-fittings). One end goes into the integrated radiator unit, and the other hand goes into TOC hoses which would lead to the aux. unit. So the two coolers would be running parallel to each other.
I'm trying to avoid leaks while doing as little modification as possible here, and am still not sure about the fitting sizes & types.
