RE: Transmission cooler
It's one of the best things you can do for your tranny....period!
Hook up is simple: simply mount the cooler where it will get the most air and run the lines that used to go to the radiator to the new cooler....done. You need high pressure hose to connect the steel lines to the cooler.

RE: Transmission cooler
You prolly could. I have mine mounted in front of the radiator and it seems to be ok.
I have it in the lower corner so I could keep as much of the middle section of the radiator open for air flow.

RE: Transmission cooler
thats it?!?!? you just hook it to the lines that are already running to the regular radator? thats easy. do you have to plug the holes in the radiator where the lines came from?

RE: Transmission cooler
Yes, you need to plug the old holes. I used two small pipe fittings.
My cooler came with two long, nylon, threaded mounts that you put through the radiator fins.
I know that sounds dangerous by passing them through the radiator fins but it's ok.
You don't have to mount it on the radiator like that though. I've seem them mounted on the sides of radiator supports. As longs as it's in the path of cool air, you can put them anywhere.
Make sure you use high pressure hose. They make tranny hose for this.
