Re: Trans cooler install advise please
The best way is to fabricate flare fittings, solid tubing with small lengths of SS shrouded flex hoses. <br /><br />If this isn't practical at least use barbed fittings at all hose to tube joints. I've just witnessed to many hoses blowing off on cold winter mornings.<br /><br />I install using the cooler in the radiator also. Keep in mind this adds extra plumbing that could fail. I plumb the extra cooler before the radiator. This way it allows the cold ATF to heat up quicker in colder weather.<br />Use hydrolic hose and double clamp all connections with solid SS clamps. Recheck the clamp tightness in a couple of weeks after initial installation and include it in your maintenence list. Use as much solid tubing as possible. <br />To clean up the installation I cover all the plumbing, clamps, hoses and tubing with plastic wiring loom conduit.
