Ronnie Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 To mount it as shown in the photo above you will need to get the extra cooler lines to go with it. I mounted a trans cooler on my car but I took a completely different approach to the factory setup. Maybe some of the photos on the following pages will help you.Transmission Cooler Installation Instructions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wws944 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Hopefully you also have the bracket (#13 on the diagram above) that bolts to the radiator support. On my 1990, one of the two hole locations on the radiator support already has a hole stamped in it. The other location has an indentation that needs to be drilled. The other strap (#15 on the diagram) to triangulate the cooler will need to be attached somewhere else on the Reatta. I haven't seriously looked for a good spot yet.

handmedownreatta Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 i got it bolted in.both the radiator support holes were there.i used a self tapping screw to secure the right bracket.im waiting for the radiator fittings and hose ordered from ronnies site.

handmedownreatta Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 i pulled another one and all the lines from another 92 riv yesterday.you don't have to remove anything to get them but the car does need to be raised.unhook the lines from the cooler,trans,and the radiator and it all can be wiggled out.you should take a 5/8 tubing wrench.
