Moved this to Perf/Engine.

C&R/Visteon make one, so does Fluidyne.

Mishimoto may be releasing one soon.

I have a fluidyne one. It was a little pricey but it's sure is nice. If you old radiator has trans cooler in it then you will have to purchase a separate trans cooler because fluidyne does not have any time of hook up on that radiator. If you want Picts I can show them to you?

If you have an auto you need an external trans cooler.

To tell you the truth man not really. I had a problem with my old radiator. Thats the only reason why i upgraded it.

You prolly wont notice anything... you wont over heat, but other then that, you wont notice much.. If i were you, id spend the cash else where, and wait for a used one...
