    Default Transmission fluid cooler

    I have gotten my hands on a transmission oil cooler radiator to fit on my VP sedan. I was wondering if it makes a difference how it is connected in sequence to the radiator.
    Should I connect it to the pipe that goes into the radiator (the top if I am correct) or connect it to the line that is returning fluid to the transmission?
    Does the water radiator have a coil in it also to cool the fluid?

    Any advice will be appreciated.

    Was thinking of getting one of these myself.

    I'd be inclined to hook it up after the radiator rather than before. Seen it done a few times before and have all been after the radiator.
