Deathrat, please tell me about...
your thermatically controlled tranny cooler. Where is the thermostat, and when does it open? Can this be installed inline with the stock cooler on my 92 SSE SC?

When the Trans fluid is ice cold, it flows very slowly & therefore restrictive in nature, hence not being able to flow through most of the Oil Cooler'* passage ways. This situation would provide little to no cooling of the fluid.
As to your last question....HELL YEAH !!!!!
This is just a Universal kit when it comes to installing it. Basically you are just "tapping" into the existing trans lines.

Inline it would be fine too as the fluid takes the path of least resistance, hence bypassing most of the more restrictive passage ways. Look at it this way then....There is different sized passage ways inside the cooler. As the fluid heats up it gets thinner & thus it can flow through the sized less restrictive passage way. By the time it gets upto full operating temperature, it'* flowing through just about all of the passage ways inside the cooler.
