SSRA blocking transcooler

If the SSRA installs in front of the trans cooler, wouldn't it severly limit the efectiveness (is that a word?) of the cooler?

I think it's the radiator and the trans cooler is the one behind it right?

Many people have said that they notice their cars getting a little bit hotter at long stop lights during the summer, not a big deal when the car is moving. There is still a lot of surface area left for air to pass through.

The best bet is to move your afteramrket trans cooler over to the passenger side so that the SSRA is beside it. That's how I did mine.

Hmm, I don't know if I want anything blocking the air flow over something that is trying to keep my motor cool.

It doesn't block the air flow. The SSRA slants towards the front of the car leaving plenty of room for air to go thru the radiator.
