Auto Tranny Cooler

I am wanting to get a Koyo radiator but I will need to get an auto tranny cooler as well. The cooling for the trans is sacrificed with this radiator. Anyone know how to install an auto trans cooler? Where would be the best place to install it?

same as an oil cooler.
In fact you could probably use an oil cooler to cool your auto tranny fluid.

it's pretty simple. all U have to do is re route the lines that go from the trany to the Radiator to extent them to reach theoil cooler. and itwould probably be infront of teh Radiator in a little corner on the bottom or something. figure otu where u think it's best.

Most aftermarket kits that I've seen state on the box that they can be used for engine oil cooling or trans oil cooling. You could even set up a remote filter too. They make all kinds of sizes. The 4-1/2" x 11" or a 6" x 11" would be sufficeint.

The best prices are on ebay.

It's not really necessary on the manual tranny. It's a bit of an overkill.
