ATF Cooler installation orientation

Does orientation of ATF cooler matters during install?

 

I mean the inlet/outlet ports facing top, side or bottom.

 

I am looking at this B&M ATF cooler that has a self regulating/bypass feature in the first 2 plates nearest to inlet/outlet port.

 

1st & 2nd plate bigger orifice, cooler/thick oil will bypass rest of the plate. Hot/thinner ATF goes on thru rest of plates.

 

I wonder if orientation affects this feature. Is it actually possible to overcool the ATF in SG/MY climate?

 

My car actually have an ATF cooler already (cooler type, not go thru radiator type). But I feel that it is more suited for stock car application, furthermore it is sited between AC condenser & radiator with a terribly hot engine bay.

 

Appreciate any opinions. Thanks.

Bro, for my Mz3 it originally comes with a ATF cooler liao but think is a small one hence i did not add on any additional ATF cooler [:)]

 

However, some Bros from the Mazda Club add on another extra ATF Cooler ontop of it and has heard no complaint from them til date [nod][nod][nod]

i thought remember reading somewhere that it will only bypass(?) to the cooler above a certain temp.

 

also there is an optimum temp that engines/systems work at, so overcooling is no good. ? let me know if I'm off the mark. thanks.
