Alright, I just finished up the installation of my tranny cooler and it came out really nicely actually. I mounted it "Dope Style" and bypassed the factory transmission cooler. My question is does it matter what side of the cooler the lines attach too?

Heres some pics.

Thanks

No it doesn't it. I thought the same thing and the B&M's are universal. It would have specified which side was "in" and "out" if it mattered. Get a tranny temp gauge and keep an eye on it. Extra reassurance.

Sweet deal! thanks

Yeah I probably will end up doing that. Do you have one? And where did you mount yours?

I mounted mine dope style a while back. As far as the temperature guage, I bought a used B&M deep pan that already had a plugged hole for the sending unit. I get my temp right from the fluid in the pan.

sorry to bring this thread from the dead but do you guys just use the factory trans cooler lines and run them into the bm cooler instead of the factory cooler? and is this the best way to mount the cooler? im going to be doing my install soon and just trying to learn up as much as i can on it...thanks!

i just used the factory cooler lines and whatever came with the cooler. i chose to not bypass the factory cooler. temps never been over 180 degrees

i put mine in front of the condenser. i just felt it looked best there in comparison to dope style. i bypassed the radiator and used the factory lines and the extra lines that came with the cooler as well.

Some bypass the radiator, believing that it adds, rather than subtracts heat. Some include it in the path, thinking that it aids in the cooling effort.

Some mount it dope stype, as in this thread. Some mount it in front of the condensor. Both seem to work.
My setup is bypass and condensor, and I seldom see temps north of 180 degrees. Except on summer nights at the track with some hard runs, it will creep up. Which is to be expected, of course.
