I'm looking at putting a super cooler transmission cooler in and am wondering if those that have would care to comment on the quality.
I've read that the stacked plate coolers tend to produce too much restriction, and may cause leaks.
If anyone could share their experience with one, I would sure appreciate it.
Thank you.

 

Anyone have any feedback?

 

I have the B&M 70268 Super Cooler and I'm very happy with it. The build quality is outstanding. I don't have any leak issues with mine. I didn't splice into the factory rubber trans cooler lines or use the brass connections supplied with the cooler. I removed the factory rubber lines and installed the B&M lines directly to the OEM metal transmission lines. From what I've read most of the leak issues are experianced by those who used the brass fittings which are difficult to keep tight and IMO cause more restriction of the fluid movement than the cooler it'self could ever cause.

 

Thanks TheQuiet1, for the feedback. I am looking to do a similar setup, and was curious to know how you adapted the nipple that comes factory on the SuperCooler to a hardline fitting.
Any pictures I see don't really give a clear view of the nipple fitting. Is it threaded to the actual cooler, or is it a one piece nipple soldered directly to the cooler?
Since I am unable to even find one locally, I'll have to order it, and would like to make sure I get something I can connect via hard line.
Any insight into how you went about it would be most helpful.
Thanks again.

 

I ordered mine through Summit Racing. The B&M 70268 comes with a length of 3/8" trans cooler line and I bought an additional length from the local auto parts store so I could mount the cooler the way I wanted, inlet and outlet facing upwards (see photo). I didn't do a "Hard Line" install... but I mounted the flexible lines from the cooler directly to the factory hard lines. The nipple you speak of is incorporated into the construction of the Super Cooler, soldered directly to the cooler.
