B&M super cooler mounting questions

rustytoolss said
I've got 2 questions about mounting my B&M Super cooler plate style trans cooler. First I have a Dodge A100. So I can place the cooler about 2ft in front of the radiator ..right behind the grill , this would give me the beat air flow (while moving)
Also I DO NOT have a cooler in the radiator !!
Back to the Super cooler plate type cooler. Will mounting the cooler with the hose ports pointed down be a problem ??? Will it cooler trap air inside , and reduce the coolers effect ? I've read this else were I'm unsure.. Tell me what you think

Your placement is fine. As far as mounting it with the hose ports pointed down, why should there be a problem? In my Challenger, I used the same cooler(plate type) and had the hose ports pointed down. I had the car for 14 years and never had any issues with it. Oil is forced through the cooler by the pump in the transmission so I can't see how air could get trapped in the cooler. I had to bypass the radiator cooler, as it had plugged up and I couldn't get it cleaned out. Being on the frugal side, it was cheaper at the time to install a transmission cooler than get the one in the rad repaired.
Your last statement about no cooler in the rad might be a bit of a concern. If the cooler you have is the largest one, I can't see any issues, however, if it's one of the smaller ones, then there could heating issues. The one I used on the Challenger measured 12" x 11" x 1 1/2" thick. Perhaps it was overkill, but like I said, no heating issues period. These coolers are made by a company called Tru Cool and are repackaged by B & M and other companies. You can go to the Tru Cool website and get further information on them.
Hope this helps.
