Routing tranny cooler lines? Today I purchased a transmission cooler. I'm a little confused on how the lines should be routed. I ran a search on trans coolers, read all the threads and didn't find my answer. A while back I remember a picture on here where someone drilled two holes in the top condensor scroud and routed the lines like that. The cooler will be mounted in front of the condensor. Is there an easier way to attach the cooler besides the zip ties that it came with? The one I got is made by hayden and is 15 1/2". I know you guys have some good suggestions, Thanks.
I installed one on a 94 formula I had a few years back. what I did wasdicannect the lines that runinto the radiator and drilled out two holes in the lower air dam, ran the lines that cam with the kit though the air dam and mounted the cooler infront and just above the air dam. Im not sure what LS1 cooler lines look like or where there at but this should give you a genneral idea. just crawl under there, look at your lines and imagine where you could rought new lines and get creative. I would try mounting it somewhere that you could drill some holes and fasten it with a few nuts and bolts.
ALSO! make sure you double clamp the lines and get them TIGHT! you dont want to dump 12 qrts of tranny oil in the middle of and intersection ahah.
