Ext. Tranny cooler connections
Hi all,
I am hoping to get some ideas from you. I have an external tranny cooler that I have to run with my new transmission. I am going to be running it in series with the OE cooler built into the radiator. When connecting things up, I wasn't satisfied with the way the kit connected to the OE lines, going from steel to rubber.
I was hopping you could post some photos as to how you have your cooler connected into your lines if they are anything different from how the kits instruct you.
THanks

Re: Ext. Tranny cooler connections
All aftermarket kits come with rubber. As long as they are routed and protected properly all will be fine.
IF you are determined to use steel- you will need the proper fittings and pipe. Route it around the passenger side of the radiator between the A/C condenser and the filler panel. Keep the bends simple and ensure that you use a tubing bender. Otherwise the tubing can crimp and reduce flow- which would definately not be good...
