Tranny Cooler Installation Instructions
If anyone has not seen this install, check it out. It is very informative. I will be doing this upgrade on my tranny as soon as I receive the cooler (we all know I need it)
Here is the link if anyone else wants to buy a tranny cooler.
Also, does anyone know if using B&M TrickShift transmission fluid will cause any problems? I heard you are only supposed to use Honda ATF fluid, but the B&M fluid sounds really good for us. Any opinions?

The Comptech 5AT SC kit came with a cooler. I stuck with the Honda Z1 for now. I've got 4k miles with the blower, 12 k total, and the factory fill is still nice and pink.

does the b&m cooler come w/ all parts needed to install on our cars?
i noticed the comptech kit comes w/ hoses and brackets, but it's almost 4 times as much. :o

Mattg: See the only reason I was looking at the B&M fluid was because Summit gives 4 quarts of the stuff for free when you buy the tranny cooler. I figured I would just buy another 4 quarts (I believe our trannys use 8 quarts) & try it out, but I don't want to cause any complications with the tranny/warranty. I guess I will stick to the Honda ATF.
Shipping depends on where you live. Anywhere from 3-5 days.

if you do use another fluid, it's not like they will be able to tell. as long as it's the same color.
not like they will be shocked or anything to see a cl-s come in for a trans.

I'm going to see what my dealer says next time I'm in for service. I don't want to be denied a new tranny because my fluid is too cold. I'm sure if I pay them to install it, it won't be a problem.

I would like to hear any updates (good or bad) on the car's performance as well as the tranny's life. Feel free to PM me if you have any news.

No reformulation was necessary for the Honda/Toyota spec release on the ATF. Therefore, the labels aren’t going to reflect the new spec’s for a while yet, but the use has been authorized
