Search the Archives tab.

Sent you a few pics of my install and noticed someone else just posted info also. It is an easy install and a must if you want to cool your tranny better than stock and especially when you start to stress the stock tranny.

I used a B&M also, for over a year. Just put in a Dewitt Radiator and had to pull the tranny cooler as part of the radiator install and found that a lot of debris was caught between the tranny cooler & the AC evaporator. I would estimate 90% blocked. If I reinstall it, I will figure out a different mounting method so as to get a wider gap between the cooler & the evaporator to prevent this from happening again. The increased temps I was seeing may have been from this blockage. Just a little FYI to consider. The actual install of the cooler is not bad as blktie8 above indicated. Good luck. :cheers:
