i got this cooler today but has no fittings, anyone know where i can find a 1/2" npt to 3/8" hose fitting to make this work ? and can someone tell me the size of the stock transmission lines the run to the radiator ? its a 84 camaro, Thanks

 

im going thru the same thing now. Stock lines on my 84 are 5/16" though. My trans cooler is 1/2 inlet outlet and trying to figure out how to make it work with my lines. Is that how yours are.

 

You should be able to find NPT to hose barb fittings easy enough. Unless you have something really odd ball.....

 

well my cooler has 1/2" hose fittings not anything to screw into or even adapters. It comes with a hose barb on it. im very confused

 

well i used a 1/2" npt to 3/8" npt and then a 3/8" npt to 3/8" hose, im looking for 5/16" inverted flare to 3/8" hose maleand female.. where to find ?

 

I have a question for you.
What do you use your car for? If you race it I can see the tranny cooler. If it's street driven and that's it, even hard your probably don't need it.
Most of the people that put on a tranny cooler don't need it. It's a misconception that the tranny just runs to hot. 200 degree's is about right. If your working it, up to 250 is alright. Although I would shoot for a highest average of around 230.
One last thought being from Toronto, if you drive it when it's cold, it's going to hold the gears and shift harder if you bypass the factory cooler. It will do it anyway cause it's probably not going to get near normal operating temp when it's cold.
If you put it on and drive it in cold weather do not bypass the factory one, run it inline, that will atleast help keep it up to the engine's operating temp (still to low) and warm it up quicker so it actually shifts right.

 

ya im from toronto but my car doesnt see winter... and from reading on these boards and others the 700r4 tranny doesnt last long when running temps higher than 200...
now back to subject, where can i find these fitting ? Thanks
