I think I'm being misunderstood. I don't have anything that is factory. I am using a Dynamic racing external cooler mounted on the Fluidyne (made for auto.) radiator. I called up Fluidyne and they said to run the feed line into the top of the radiator using a 1/4 NPT fitting rather than a flare fitting. The problem was that I let my Uncle run the lines and he ran the pump feed line into the cooler and had it exiting the top of the radiator rather than the other way around. I need to fix it before I hurt anything. And no, this car won't be going anywhere in the snow. I can't even drive it in the rain Thanks for the advice guys.

If the feed line from the pump went to the top opening in the radiator, the fluid would flow so fast that it wouldnt have time to cool off.(jmo) As far as changing your fluid, i'd pull the feed line from the trans off of the cooler and route it in to a bucket. Start the car and let about half of your fluid get out. Immediately start dumping the new fluid in. Youre gonna need to be fast at this cause the fluid is gonna come out fast. I'd let a quart or two of the new stuff come out as well. Just to make sure its completely flushed.
