I can tell you that our kit installed our way mimic the stock exchanger extremely closely once both are up to opperational temp ~80 degrees

Iam not pushing a product ( nothing to gain here ) but what iam saying is that we have zero issues and not one milkshake ...... that's enough for me and every owner feels the same :)

For sure I understand what your saying, definitely no way possible to mix coolant etc etc.

Just not seeing how a conventional oil cooler could maintain a constant trans oil temp.
Would have to have a pretty good variation in temperatures from a number of variables, ambient air, road speed, load on trans etc etc.

Not to worry, just curiosity on my behalf.

As I said 50,000kms of testing is more than enough to see the "negative" and not be concerned one single bit and it went through everything in that time

When you guys talk ambient air temps context is important. What state of Australia are making reference to?

Because Melbourne and Tassie winter morning temps can go as low is 0-5 deg Celsius or lower!

So for a road car in Melb and Tassie you would be kidding yourself thinking that your trans temps will be fine with an air to air cooler for the morning commute from April to August when it's fkn freezing outside!

How and where you use your car / climate and or race track needs to be carefully considered before you trust the Internet on what is best for your application.

What do you think happens with the stock exchanger for the first 2-3 minutes ?

Worst case is seen in both cooling applications regardless For initial warm up period

Only difference is the rate of rise vs time

And one won't milkshake ........... Ever

if it really bothers you just use one of these with it http://derale.com/products/fluid-coolers/thermostats-1/fluid-control-thermostats/15-heavy-duty-stainless-steel-standard-rotation-flex-fan-chrome-detail but had air to air coolers without one on 3 of my ZF cars with a range of power from 300rwkw to 440rwkw and haven't broke one yet
