since you have an auto, where did you get the clutch?

FYI i found a bitchen trans and oil cooler at summitracing.com its a perma-cool pn# prm-3311, (other sizes and models available) but it is dual-circut, meaning two seperate coolers in one- its pretty nice and mine is on the way, along with my boost gage and stuff.

it should save lots of room, and make for a cleaner install- hope all you searchers find this post =)
