tranny cooler

[doug 371]

I have never seen a tranny cooler mounted with the fittings on top. Is there a reason for this?

Maybe it overcomplicates routing transmission cooler lines?

Well I guess I’ll be the outlier, was just easier to install. It’s a little more of a pain to drain, but I just use compressed air.

Right on, thanks

It's a gm I'm working on so the lines are high already

That looks like the factory engine oil cooler on my old tool truck.

It’s a Hayden 1290, forgot where I got it, but Summit carries them. Fairly big, but that’s what I was looking for.

I don't think it really matters what position it's in, it will work the same way, but it IS a great thing to have on an automatic transmission. They should ALL come with external coolers standard. The cooler in the radiator just isn't enough in my opinion. Adding one also helps make the trans last longer too. The bigger the better.
