Is this much bigger/better than the stock cooler? Is there another one I should get instead that'd be better for my needs?

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I went and ordered the Comptech cooler (which I suspect is a B&M cooler with some cool bracketry to make integration awesome) and eagerly await its arrival.

What I'm thinking now is whether I should completely bypass the stock cooler (as the Comptech directions instruct) or should I run them in series? I'm thinking I'd have the fluid flow first through the stock cooler and then again through the Comptech cooler before it returns to the transmission. The only problem is that I don't know which tube is the send and which tube is the return from the trans and my Haynes manual doesn't help much with regard to that.

Anyone have any thoughts about running both coolers in series? I know that on the Odyssey using the Honda cooler that is installed for towing packages, it runs in series so it can't be a terrible thing.

Anyone know which tube is which?

Thanks!

Just to keep tabs on all this, i'm considering getting a transmission fluid temperature gauge. Anyone have any suggestions for what might integrate nicely into my car?

Thanks!

There are two. One line goes all the way to the left side of the radiator (you are facing the car) the other starts off a soft line which goes into a hard line connected by a butterfly clip.

This is the return line. Remove the butterfly clip, ATF will come out a bit.
