4 pages of popcorn opinions. I like that. 15 years ago I deleted the plate cooler in the radiator and went external. never had an issue, trans temps never higher than 190. Fluid always looks and smells good on every annual change (with filter) and the pan is always clean... I happen to change mine every year.
What works for me, may not for you, but for me, I'm happy.
Sidecar, that's the way I want to do mine. some coolers are available with fans attached, might be a good thing. getting that heat out of the radiator sure can't hurt anything.
I had old Pontiac one time and the plate cooler in the radiator leaked I just took the two lines from the trans to the cooler and coupled them together with a short piece of copper tubing ran that car for almost a year and never had any problems.
