Well, I guess my question was, why you called the design "stupid"? It struck me as a sound design, typical of millions of liquid/liquid heat exchangers used in all kinds of applications. I wouldn't think "stupid" would apply just because it might not last 1/2 century. Perhaps there was a better word choice to be made?
<p>Ok, I'll agree that "stupid" was maybe a poor choice of derogatory terms. Maybe "ignorant" would be a better term, particularly in hindsight. And I'll agree that Packard was not the only one to use the liquid-liquid heat exchanger.</p>
<p>But, in any case, it was not a "smart" solution either since in addition to the potential of mixing the coolant with the trans fluid, the coolant eventually heats up the transmission temperature which shortens the life of the transmission.</p>
<p>This topic is probably worthy of discussion in a separate thread.</p>
