Where can a good How To install a tranny cooler for the CD4E be found ?

Read the FAQ or go with what I went with a magnefine inline external filter

inline filter

Damn.
I knew I seen that somewhere but overlooked the CD4E FAQ's again.....

Anyway, thanks for the filter idea.
Sounds like a good idea too.


Anyone got pics of the tranny cooler installed ?

I just want to see where those tranny cooler brackets should mount and exactly what they should look like.

Sometimes pictures can say a thousand words and explain things a little easier.

Here is a couple of pics of my trans cooler, hope they help.

You just simply bend the brackets and screw into the metal behind the bumper.

Mount the cooler then remove the old fitting and connect the new fitting to the radiator (return to tranny) and run the supplied hose from that fitting to the cooler. Then for your next hookup, cut into the tranny return line (With a tube cutter about $5.00 if you don't have 1) and run the supplied hose from the cooler to the return line. Make sure all connections are tight. Add some tranny fluid to top it off and check for leaks. You should be good to go.

The pic under the vehicle is a little hard to see. I tried squeezing under there and taking the pic without jacking the car up .

Also the cooler i installed is a B&M #70268 from Checkers. It was $59.99 and came with all the fittings,brackets and hose.
