I wanna add a trans cooler to my 97 Corolla with 142,000 miles. There is not a lot of room in the engine bay of the corolla and their is a fan on both sides of the radiator. Can someone recommend a quality cooler that would be small enough to fit in this application.
 
I'm sure you could dig up a PSF (power steering) cooler somewhere, either new or from ebay/junkyard. They're tiny but probably more than you need.

By both sides, you mean left and right... right? Not in front and behind. You should be able to fit whatever you want in front of the AC condensor.

This is a bit overkill. Is this a towing corolla?

Im not looking at it right now But I believe there is a fan on the left side front and a fan on the engine side on the right.

I agree. I think an ATF fluid change every 25K and possibly a Magnafine and your Corolla will last as long as you want to drive it.
I would put a cooler on an A/T that was problematic (like many Hondas) but I don't feel you need one on a Corolla.
 
In Florida? Sure, put a cooler on there.
Since chemical reactions double in speed about every 17 deg F rise in temp, those constituents of the oil that can be harmed by heat will be much better off.
 
since you are in florida i don't think adding one will hurt! it will never get cold enough in the panhandle for "too much cooling" to be an issue. mike
 
Your car is already equipped with one.
If it is an automatic it is built into the radiator.
If it is a manual, then it is a small loop on the front of the transmission.
