I know physically it will fit. Would it help oil cooling if I use the internal transmission cooler to cool engine oil? I could use a plate between the oil filter and mount and run the oil lines to the radiator where the transmission lines would go.
Has anyone already done this? Any noticable benefits?
Thanks.

I know that one of the lower fittings is a banjo fitting.

My 88 NA was an auto, had both of those hoses replaced due to age and they leaked.

Interesting idea. I don't know of anyone ever doing this - but it seems feasible. If you do give it a try - hook up a mechanical oil temp gauge and monitor the two variations.

Oh yeah - a good oil pressure gauge would be a wise investment. Keep a close eye on it during the initial trial period with the radiator cooler.

I really don't think it would handle full flow. If you find a way to get it to see partial flow, it probably would show improvement.

will work fine..transmissions run over 150psi in them, I would also suspect that it will make the car last longer as the oil temp will be at the optimum temp as the radiator also will heat it when it is too cold.
