Re: Radiator tank oil cooler
John,
replace the radiator - not the cooler.
The cooler is fit to the tank in such a way that it makes it very difficult to replace. Running a few coils of copper tubing will not replace the cooling capacity of an internal cooler. You are just as likely to ruin the transmission from overheating with your home-made cooler as you are if you just run a small external cooler to replace the cooler in the radiator. Unless you are an engineer and have calculated the heat transfer then leave it to the professional to engineer the coolers. You are dollars ahead by replacing the radiator with a new one that has a new and good factory cooler installed.
