If you have an automatic trans, you will have to get a separate tranny cooler, yes.
How much did you get your mishi for, and where did you get it?

as llllllllll said you'll need a tranny cooler if you get an aluminum Mishi or Koyo radiator. Summitracing has some as well.

Only automatics have to have a tranny oil cooller. Its usually built into the radiator

MIshimoto radiators suck ***! I know because I own one. The fan shroud doesn't line up and the top brackets don't secure the radiator.

Yeah I was gonna get a mishi or koyo, but I didn't want to play around with getting a tranny cooler.
I'm not sure i'm keeping the car, so I'm not sure if the extra investment is worth it for me.
So I just got an OEM replacement for $109.
$230 isn't bad at all, how much was the tranny cooler, $60 or $80?
