Sluggish after tranny cooler install
So I just had a new Tru-Cool LPD 4588 transmission coller installed (as well as a new muffler at the same time, just in case that could be relevant).
But ever since, the 4Runner just seems slower than it used to be. Sluggish.
Shifting seems fine, but the acceleration is definitely lacking.
Can cooler/cold transmission fluid cause the thing to lose power?
It is cold here, is it the external cooler coupled w/ cold weather?
Any ideas?

I had a shop (owned by a friend) put them both on. It's winter and my garage floor is cold.
I am not aware of any leaks. The muff is a who knows what brand aftermarket replacement, but it is definitely louder than stock. Sounds more like it was meant to be a performance muffler than stock replacement.

Why did you replace the muffler in the first place?
I had a friend replace a muffler on his Ram due to a hole in it, he replaced it and the truck did not quite run as well. Turned out that his converter had been on its last leg and did not mate well with the new Magnaflow. A new cat and all the power was back. You may want to take a look at the converter.
I have run ATF at 105~110 degrees all day before in the winter. Not good for the tranny but there were no ill effects as far as I know.
