yes, that is a cooler of sorts. more like a heat exchanger. it warms and cools the fluid. however, as engine temps get high so do trans fluid temps. adding another cooler in series can be beneficial to lower fluid temps to about 180F where as your engine coolant is around 210F. trans fluid lasts much longer at 160-180F than it does above 200F.
the cooler wont hurt, is cheap, and is quick to install. -------------------- |
