a trans cooler the size of a note book would be fine, and you'll pik one up cheap at a Ford wrecker.

Not a great price, but not uncompetitive.

I got my PWR one far cheaper than that from supercheap auto.

That one on ebay is the worse type anyway, its far more restrictive as the oil has to go through all the tube/bends where as the better ones the oil just has to flow from 1 side to the other. I'm sure there was an article about them on the forum ages ago.

If doing a lot of heavy load driving though ... I suggest not to mount the trans cooler too close to the A/C condensor ... and away from the driver's side as well.

Just going on current experiences with load and heat.
