It's not a simple thread topic is it!?

I've been considering going on a trip across the Simpson with a few mates and figured even if I dont end up going this year, I should start getting the jeep in a position that it might just be survivable.

Once the cooling system is sorted (it actually seems to operate reasonably well at the moment) I figure the next stage is the Auto.

Now I realise everyone is aiming for the best possible performance from their cooling system, but I guess my question is that if i was to simply replacing the stock transmission cooler with something a bit more substantial (like a Flex-a-Lite from summit racing), and bypassing the heat exchanger. Could I be confident enough that the auto isnt going to cook on me? Or is it really a matter of having to go the whole hog to even attempt something like the Simpson?

Cheers folks, keep up the great work!
