Make sure you have enough transmission hose for the job.

Around the trans fluid fill bolt there will be a short length of trans hose. You will find it on the top of the tranny. To help find it start the engine (from cold) and hold the brake on and put the tranny in drive. The hose will get warm quickly. If you have had the oil jet mod done, use that hose. The hose is short and the connectors are a pain to get off, but all you need is an "in" and an"out". I took my battery out to make the job easier. You can run the hose up to the front of the car under the battery tray and work it up to the front of the radiator by snaking it around the side of the radiator. I installed mine on the driver's side of the radiator using those long zip tie things included in the kit. I may have added alittle trans fluid to keep the system full, maybe one half of a pint. Hope this helps.

those clamps were nearly impossible to get off! i had the oil jet install done and i could NOT get a good angle at the hose clamps. i'm just bringing it somewhere to get installed, too cold now to stand outside and try to fight with stupid hose clamps.

How do you guys like the kit?

I was considering getting a cooler kit because my stuff gets way hot after I get done abusing the car after a drive. Does it noticeablely cool off the temps under the hood?
