what happens is the trans gets hot and causes clutch pacs, and the tc to start to wear quicker than it should. these particles get into the factory trans cooler built into the radiator. this in turn causes the factory cooler to clog and makes it run even hotter. my recommendation would be this: get a hot flush done on the radiator asap. this requires removing it, but it will benifit in 2 ways. it cleans the factory cooler out and cleans any nastyness in the radiator itself from the horrible dexcool that was once in that car. next get an aftermarket trans cooler. you dont need a fan. you can run it so that the hot fluid runs into the factory cooler and then into the aftermarket cool and then into the trans. acts like a double cooler in a way. then before you even start the car after the cool install and radiator flush. change the trans fluid and filter. there is a factory auxillary trans cooler for our cars. it was an option on all cars shipped to the middle east. it is crazy expensive but uses all gm parts and is a direct bolt up.
