These modifications will help keep your transmission healthy and cool during the hot summer months.
I used a Hayden 24K GVW Transaver model from www.bulkparts.com


Step1:On the Ramps
I got these at Kragen..the had neat attachments that prevent your fender from getting scratched.

Step 2:Mounting the Cooler
We bent the brackets that came with the cooler (B) at 90 degree angles and mounted them on brackets that are found between the radator and the fender (A).

Step 3:Routing the Lines
Remove the bumper from the vehicle. Then remove the hose from the stock fluid return line A. (The lower line (C) is for the power steering fluid, leave it alone). Install the hose from the kit in place of the stock hose (B) and route it to the cooler(D). From the cooler route the next section of hose (that came with the kit) to the filter (E) and then finally to the stock transmission return hose (B).
