Several people here are running them, and it is highly suggested that every auto have one.

But...I tried for a week to find out how hard they are to install and got absolutely NO replies...maybe you'll do better.

the hardest part is finding a place to mount it... its relatively easy, and it is worth it if you want to extend ur tranny life

+1 on easy install. Like previously stated mounting is the most annoying part. Stick it on forward side (the side that faces the road not the engine) of the radiator with a mounting kit. If you want to spend the money, B&Ms SuperCooler HiTech version with auto thermal switched fan is da shiznit....

I have an Earls cooler on my tko and it works absolutly awsome. road racing is the hardest thing on transmissions and it keeps mine running at 170-190 every once in a while itll get to 210 if im driving the **** out of it.
