I'd probably do it through the rad and then the cooler, or think about bypassing the rad altogether if the cooler was big enough.

from the trans to rad to cooler then back to trans, might want to consider a remote filter while you're doing it.

"from the trans to rad to cooler then back to trans, might want to consider a remote filter while you're doing it."

How does that work? Run the hose infront of radiator? Then into the trans cooler then back to trans? With a filter somewhere on the line so easy cleaning? Im confused about that a bit. sorry.

Disconnect the upper line to the radiator, run a line from the port on the radiator to the cooler, and then another line from the cooler back to the factory line.
