Re: tranny cooler
I went to my local Advanced auto and got the smallest aluminum trans cooler they had and mounted it in front of the radiator with ADAL clamps from lowes and used the hose clamps and trans cooler line that were in the kit. I plumbed mine so it uses the radiators built in cooler and then runs through the aftermarket cooler and back into the transmission.
With a 180'F engine coolant thermstat, an added air-oil cooler and good air flow you wont have any transmission heat problems.
Don't use that cheap-0 mounting kit BS the kit comes with. ADAL clams are best.

Re: tranny cooler
The bigger the better. For every 10 degree drop in temperature you add ten thousand miles to an automatic transmission so logic says the bigger the better. You should route it through the radiator first then to the cooler and then back to the trans.

I would only do that in a northern climate or when I was planning on driving in cold winters.

Re: tranny cooler
can you show a pic of your setup? just bought one from a guy here and I'm not much of a visionary type person... I have to see what I'm doing and your set up is exactly that.
