However I must say I'm a bit worried by the bypass...I'm sure what it does it warm the transmission fluid up in cold weather. Not an issue for us California folks, but for people who live in colder climates that could be bad. That has been the #1 item that has held me back from doing so. My transmi...
After hours of reading on this subject, this one post is what truly helped me. just did the bypass. easier done than describing it. but I did not use any additional parts. no coupler, no hose clamp (reuse original), no zip tie. you have 2 hoses - hose A - from external transmission cooler to radiato...

Whoever designed that thing needs to be shot. But I got it changed none the less, my cold to normal idle time drast...
