Transmission cooler kits typically come complete with mounting hardware and plumbing components. This heavy-duty unit is marketed for racing, so the plumbing kit is sold separately.

Attach the adhesive mounting pads to the cooler's mounting flanges. Then screw the supplied hose fittings onto the cooler's inlet and outlet ports, using Teflon tape to seal the threads.

A common installation involves inserting the kit's mounting rods through the radiator or A/C condenser and into the cooler's mounting flanges. Lock-tabs then slide onto the mounting rods, and excess rod material (shown) can be cut off.

High-temp rubber hoses (normally supplied with the cooler) are spliced into the transmission's return line. Route the plumbing as far away from hot and moving parts as possible.

This job used barbed fittings on the cooler. The rubber hoses attach to them, effectively making the fluid take a side trip through the cooler on its way back to the trans. Add ATF as necessary, start the vehicle and check for leaks.
