How do you install trans cooler?
I just bought a trans and I got a trans cooler with it too. Where and how do you install it?
My guess is that it threads into the input or output trans fluid lines, but which one?
There are a couple rubber connectrors.

No pics of it installed because i still am using temporary means. Strapped to the X brace on the driver's side so the primary fan will draw through it in traffic. You can get the idea from the fittings though how it's connected...

You are doing yourself a BIG favour putting in a tranny cooler 
It will likely double the life of your new tranny

I bought the Hayden version of the same B&M that you are using. The thing that got me was getting the lines from the transmission connected to the cooler. Those lines do not bend. I guess I will have to get some adapters to go from the tranny lines to the cooler. I thought the cooler came with all the parts needed for install.

If i were to use the stock hard lines from the trans till they reached near the where they enter the radiator and then cut em and ran the larger size hose to the cooler from the cut point mounted in front of the AC and radiator how would this affect the flow and pressure of the fluid?
