Transmission Cooler

Do we really need a transmission cooler? I know it doesnt hurt to install one. It will only benefit us in the long run. If I was to install one, where would I hook up the return line to? Is it item 12 in the drawing before it gets into the filter?



And whats a good transmission cooler? Its a cheap mod and I need something to do on the weekend to kill some time. And the weather is getting nicer.

Your fluid is currently routed to the bottom side of your radiator. That would be the line you would use. If you want a cheap mod, do a oil catch can, etc. I'm not sure a transmission cooler is going to benefit you any since that is pretty much already taken care of with the existing line to the radiator.

So that will be the same line if I followed it to the top of the transmission where the filter is right?

I already installed a cusco oil catch can.

I'm not sure which is the line into the radiator and which is the out, but yeah, there is a line that comes in and out of the lower part of the radiator for the ATF.
