Transmisson Fluid To By-pass Radiator

[Huckleberry]

Its starting to get hot out and my transmisson is running 15-20 degrees less than my water temp. That would be about 170 -175 on my trans temp. I have a small stock cooler. But what I'm thinking about doing is by-passing the radiator all together, with the trans fluid. Has anyone tried this and if so how did it work?

Have you had tranny problems?

Usually you only bypass the factory cooler when adding an aftermarket cooler

run the fluid through the radiator.. then out to an aftermarket cooler then back to the trans.

I'm starting to suspect some coming problems. I one thing I've never messed with is the transmisson. But its never to late. The reason I want to bypass the radiator is just see what the difference would be. I know its there to heat up the fluid, but with it being so hot out I would think it help keep it cooler.

the cooler the tranny fluid the better. I would not bypass the cooler.
