trans. cooler install
I will soon be putting a shift kit and higher stall converter in my 700 and I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of an installed cooler and directions on how to do it.
Thanks a lot.

Install it right on the a/c condensor. It will fit fine between the condensor and the cross braces. The straps that are included in most kits will hold it in place just fine. I installed mine right in front of the fan so that air is pulled through it when the fan is on. Very easy job. Check fluid level after and if it shifts funny, reset tv cable.
If you are going to install your cooler in front of the A/C condenser, here are some tips. Remove the plastic hood latch cover. Be careful not to rip the plastic clips. Remove the cross bracing, two bolts for each. This will give you enough working room to mount your cooler...

If you buy a trans cooler kit, it will come with the hoses; hardware; and instructions on how to install it. The location is up to you. Here is a typical installation. I also added a remote spin on filter for the trans:
