can i simply buy a trans cooler and use that in place of trans cool lines?

thanx for your help

 

i'm confused, your trans lines already go to a cooler and if you bought one it wouldn't just plug into your trans, you'd still need lines to get from the trans to the cooler.

 

heh, i told you i dont know jack about automatics

 

damn i guess so. the 2 lines run to the radiator, that's the factory trans cooler, inside the radiator.

 

ohhhhhhh ok

so if i bought one i would just be relocating it?

with buying new lines........i cut the old ones off because i thought i was putting a T5 in................when i buy new ones, i guess i have to bend them and flare the ends huh?

 

No, you should run the new cooler in series with the radiator cooler.

Here's how. Leave the radiator as is but tap into the tranny return line from the rad and send the fluid to the extra cooler, which you mount in front of the rad (and AC unit, if that's there too). Then send the aftermarket return line to the tranny return line and voila! You've REALLY cooled down that hot tranny fluid! This will at least double the life of an automatic tranny, no kidding.

And all for a miserable $30 or so.
