As I recall, a cool (pun intended) design but it meant the oil pickup could not reach deep into the pan and therefore poor circulation of fluid. But others that ran them, will know for sure.

I hooked up a trans cooler aswell,this guy came highly reccommended from 2 shops.

(if the holes went front to back, they could get plugged with debris) in theory, the surfaces of the tubes expose the trans fluid to a larger surface for heat exchanging. a good trans cooler placed after the radiator cooling tank should work well enough by itself. the pan is deeper, but as mentioned above, you don't get to pickup from the bottom of the pan. you do get a slightly larger fluid capacity though.

I have seen the tubes either way depending on the trans. we ran them on the turbo400 pontiac trans,turbo350 chebby trans mostly. they say right on the sales pitch not recomended for 4x4 use due to clogging. IMHO, I would think one would keep them flushed out when running them on dirt roads/off road. I know I did.
