[QUOTE="Mishimoto, post: 1346289, member: 19596"] While our trans cooler will cover more of the heat exchangers behind it, it still takes up less than 1/4 of the radiator's surface area. Plus, compared to the solid plastic mount that blocks all airflow where it covers, our trans cooler will obviously have open fins that let air pass through. That air will be warmer than ambient, but that warmer air will have very little effect on coolant temps when applied to such a small area of the radiator and when compared to no airflow at all in parts that the stock bracket would cover. A more efficient trans cooler that reduces trans fluid temps also has the added benefit of taking thermal load off of the radiator - less of the coolant's thermal capacity is being used to cool the trans fluid and some of that capacity can then be used to cool the engine. So, while we will blocking a small portion more of the radiator's surface area, the extra cooling provided by the trans cooler will be an overall benefit to both the trans cooling and engine cooling systems. Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions! I should have more updates soon! -Steve [/QUOTE]
