Auto Trans Cooler in Place of Oil Cooler
So my passenger side oil cooler is cracked and leaking. Jeff at Rotory Power USA told me that the auto trans cooler is basically the same part. Does anyone one have any experience with this? IS it true?

the transmission cooler was located inside the radiator, unless you're referring to using an auto radiator and using that as the oil cooler i would suggest against it. not enough volume and not enough cooling. perhaps some models used a factory style oil cooler but again, it wasn't designed for that purpose.
just buy a used stock cooler and be done with it.

If you happen to damage the engine radiator in the automatic car, beware. As I found out, they are very difficult to find now. The manual one will not swap in, as the auto car has a trans cooler inside the engine radiator, in addition to one on the side of the front bumper.
I was able to swap the auto end tanks and internal cooler onto a manual radiator core. The manual has less fins per inch than the auto core, but it still works fine.
Dunno, someone may want to know via the search function one day....
