I find a M5OD to install in the Exploder. Is there any reason I would want to save the tranny cooler from the auto?

P.S. I wasnt sure if this should have been in the General section or not, I can move it if it need ot be.

I wouldn't - run an external cooler with a cold climate bypass (thicker fluid goes through larger cooler port on top of cooler and allows the fluid to heat up, thin out and go into the other passages)

I ran a large cooler with a inline filter on my pickup after I swapped transmission. Works good :D

Kyle you kinda lost me.... I didnt think you could run a tranny cooler with a manual (M5OD)?

Either hook it up to your power steering, or ditch it altogether.
