Re: Got my Tran. Cooler installed... (RadPolo96)
Where did you mount it.. in front of the power steering cooler, or on the air conditioning condenser? Did you also use both the aftermarket & stock cooler like I did?

I actually mounted it on the air conditioning condensor, and yes I use both. I havent gotten a chance to AT it but it is workin fine. No leaks and it heats up well so I no its workin. Oh and the install took prolly 45 min tops.

I really felt better about the car after I installed one, just one less thing to worry about.

Thats not fair! I put mine between the Radiator and A/C and it took at least 3.5 hours. :smash:

Yeah 3.5 hours is a little extreme. I can understand it taking a while if you mount it in between the 2 though.
It dont matter as long as its working.. :)

Re: Got my Tran. Cooler installed... (Red96Coupe)
It was a lot of work to get it between the two:
I put it there so I could do this:
It sounds like a Turbine winding up when I turn on the fans. :cool:
Also, NEVER install a cooler without installing the hose fittings first, that added at least another half hour. :eek:

Re: Got my Tran. Cooler installed... (RadPolo96)
My next step is a trans cooler and temp gauge.

Re: Got my Tran. Cooler installed... (KYVette90)
I want one. How do they plumb into the system?
You leave the stock line running into the top of the radiator, remove the bottom line. I lost suprisingly little fluid. They sell an adaptor that screws into the stock fitting. Then you run that line into the tranny cooler(through a hole in the shroud), run the return line into the return line to the transmission.
Its really pretty simple, the instructions give a pretty good description.

Re: Got my Tran. Cooler installed... (NoWorries)
Does anybody have a different source than VDO for a Trans Temp guage? Their's is alright, its just not that aesthetic.
Its my top guage.
