shelbyone Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) is the lower one the return line? ( did not test yet) also, if someone already installed an external additional cooler, which location did you choose?

Reaper1 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 It really doesn't matter. I always bypass the radiator cooler when I install an aftermarket tranny cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lower to the cooler and the upper is the return line. Contrary to some opinions, I would definitely run the transmission fluid through both the factory and aftermarket coolers. On vehicles that have the factory trans cooler in the radiator, run the fluid through the external cooler first, then the radiator cooler. In this way, the fluid is warmed up as it returns through the radiator cooler in winter temperatures. This is important for proper transaxle operation. In summer driving, you will dissipate the very high heat in the external cooler and the fluid will be further cooled in either factory installed cooler. In very hot summer operation or when towing especially, the transmission fluid runs at a higher temperatures than the engine coolant which is when there is a need to cool the transmission fluid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
