I will let you know what effect this has on trans temps after my time trial event this saturday. The outside temperature should be in the 100's so that should be a good test. Last time out I was getting up to 250 degrees which is too hot. I would be happy to see 210-215 but time will tell.
The LEFT side of the picture is the side that is closest to the FRONT of the car. This cooler is basically parallel to the ground behind the front bumper area We changed out fluid and filter while we were at it. We used 14 quarts of MOBIL 1 ATF HP fluid at 14.25 a quart retail (11.99/qrt at summitt) and a damn 61.00 filter YIKES!!!! There is NO FILL tube on an A10 by the way so there is a very specific procedure on how to properly fill tranny (do a search).

Why didn't you use the recommended A10 fluid?
