Transmission Cooler Question

For usually less than $100, a trans cooler is one of the best investments you can make. I put them on about every car I own. Excessive Heat is the enemy of transmissions.

What I do is take off a trans line and use the hose from the kit to plumb them both in a bucket. Have someone start the car for a few seconds & see which hose the fluid comes out. The one that the fluid comes out is the feed & hooks up to the radiator. The added cooler should always be last, as stated above.

I usually buy the biggest one I can fit in the space.

You can try this experiment if you don’t have a trans temp gauge. After driving your car around for awhile, reach under and touch the trans pan. You may burn your hand. Put your cooler on it and try it again. It will just be warm.

There are different types and sizes with varying efficiency, but anything will be a big improvement.
