Hey guys. My 80 camino has gone thorugh 2 engine swaps recently and amist the swapping, I somehow screwed up my tranny cooler lines going to the radiator. Since I was getting ansey and wanted to drive it for the first time in 2 years, I just clamped a piece of rubber hose to the lines so the fluid ran from one line, straight into the other without going through the radiator. It worked fine and the tranny is still good after about a year. I am in the process of swapping in a 200-4R and the cooler lines were all bent and screwed up so I went ahead and chopped em off. How necessery is it to have a tranny cooler? I know they use em on trucks to keep the tranny cool during hauling, but I dont have a high performance motor or use it to haul. Whatdya think?
