Default How Do I Install A B&M Transmission Cooler?

Well guys the hot weather is coming up and im pretty sure my transmission is going to start overheating like it did last summer. I picked up a B&M Transmission Cooler in the fall but havent gotten around to installing it. Can someone tell me step by step about of how to install it? The local transmission shop is charging me 120-130 bucks for installation.

i've done some searching on this myself but eveything i found just talks about where it was mounted...whether "dope" style or on the condenser....but for the most part it seems like a fairly straight forward install however you choose to mount it. You just put it where you want....secure it.....disconnect the tranny cooler lines and hook them up to the new cooler....that's the very basics of it....I couldn't help with the details as i have not done this yet...

I have seen a few ways you can mount them but i dont know how to actually hook it up. Do i need to get rid of my stock tranny cooler that is inside the radiator tank? It would be nice if i could keep the stock one and have the aftermarket one working at the same time because wouldnt that keep the transmission even cooler? Ill check out those write ups guys thanks.
