How hard are these to install. I thought about getting one seeing how hard I am on my car, and Saturday I will have it on Road Atlanta (hopefully!). Which ones do you all prefer? Thanks!

Easy, just find all the tranny lines and follow the instructions.

Personally I am not fond of hose clamps and would go with -an fittings.

they are simple i think the hardest part was just deciding where to put it,but its really simple and just find the biggest one you can. I just went to autozone and bought the biggest one there which was $45 or something, its not bad at all and well worth it believe me i have burnt up trannys before, cuz i was stupid and didnt use one, i wont make the misstake again.

Thats what I was going to do. Dont they hold to the radiator with zip-like ties?

Get a plate type cooler like the B&M supercooler. They are more efficent than tube and fin. If you are road racing and have a stall, get the 24k. The 19K is normally adequate for most people.

Would AutoZone or anyone of those type places carry ones like that?

For a squid like me it sounded all kinds of complicated, but once I did it was unbelievably easy. Also I drilled 2 holes in the air-dam and routed the hoses through there so there is no chance they could get scraped (the air-dam is the only thing I ever scrape).

yeah i think they do sell that type i wouldnt worry too much just grab a big one and throw it in front of the radiator and condesner, then throw some zip ties through it no big deal take just a hour

When you put in a trans cooler, do you have to put more trans fluid to compensate for the fluid in the cooler and the lines?

Yes and you may have to adjust your line pressure.

gilg99ss

How do you do that?

My94TransAm

Ours are screw in, not slip on, correct?

Autozone might have one like that, but they tend to carry tube and fin style ones. Look before you buy or order one from a sponsor.

I only drag race it 2 times a year, so should I still get the B&M style ones, or would a tube and fin be suffieicent?

say tube would be fine just get a big one thats what i run and i drag mine often over the summer and its doing fine so its whatever the other people might tell you different
