I'd considered that, but I've got enough on my plate already, what with the
engine changeout. I'm trying to introduce as few additional  potential
screwup points as possible. Besides, I think my transmission likes the way
the heat exchanger brings the ATF up to operating temperature quickly.
Probably an unnecessary measure in this age of synthetic tranny fluids, but
who knows?
