I just noticed that my 06 4.0L SOHC has a separate transmission cooler, which sits in front of the AC condenser and engine radiator. Do I get lucky or this is standard?

Now I think the small one in the bottom of the radiator is more likely a heater (than a cooler) for transmission. Make sense?

i don't believe at least ont he 2g it was standard, but a good number of them had them. the small one on the rad is a heater to warm it up align with coolant, and this one is to cool it once it warms up. homeostasis ;) warm enough for fluid t be nice, cool enough not to hurt trans.
