Here are the threads that came up from searching for "Summit 70268". There are other brands out there. Installation will take a few hours, and usually requires removal of the radiator, depending on how you mount the cooler.

Actually it is a B&M 70268 that Summit Racing (among others) sells.

No need to pull the radiator... Mount in front of the condenser, next to the left HL.

For my 92Q, I went to the local auto parts store and picked up a transmission cooler. Claimed it could handle 1600GVW, and it was considered "large" of the many sizes there. Part was $35.

Had a performance shop install it for $97. Looked well installed, right behind the radiator.

In a Q, as long as you live in a reasonably warm climate, if you install a large transmission cooler, then the recommendation here is to not pass it through the radiator.

I have the B&M installed, and the radiator is completely bypassed. This is working fine, but I am in the San Jose Bay Area, where the climate is relatively mild.
