I've been looking at a couple different universal radiators and looks as if they do not have transmission cooler hook ups or petcocks? Am I not seeing this right or is that how they come?
How is one supposed to hook up their transmission coolant lines if that's the case?

If you need a cooler built in, Summit lists lots of radiators with coolers see:

Just buy a aftermarket tranny cooler and run the lines to that mounted in front of the radiator. It's easy they usually come with the plastic zip holders that run thru the radiator to hold them on.

I have a aftermarket trans cooler,a B & M one that I haven't used yet.
Would that be enough to cool my transmission?

I run mine in front of the radiator hooked to it with the tie straps they give you. You can see it a bit in this pic on the radiator. I have had it on my car for 3 years withn no problems and I drive it all over. Ron

So Ron you run your coolant lines from the transmission to the transmission cooler and back without using the radiator? !
