Transmission Cooler with Fan (pics)

[zcruiser]

Great set of pics! I plan on doing this with my two T4R's.

One question. I tried tracing the hoses from the cooler to the stock hard lines, but can't tell which goes where.

In this pic, which line goes to the top of the cooler and which goes to the bottom?

Great install and thanks for the wiring info! Going to order that fan this week. Where did you get the switch?

I just installed my B&M cooler this weekend...the hose that came with the cooler was just enough. I had a hard time getting the new hose on the trans lines, they still have about 1/8" to go, but they're on there pretty good....I'm getting a little seepage but it's probably because I re-used the yota spring clamps. I just picked up some new screw clamps i'll put on this week sometime.

I got the switch from advance auto parts for like 4 bucks

Thanks, now for the follow-up... Should the Send line go to the top of the B&M or the bottom?

That's up to you and people will argue till they're blue in the face for both ways so good luck...

I put my line from the trans into the top of the cooler. If anyone thinks the bottom would be better, do it that way. This isn't even considering all the people who would say the cooler should be positioned with the inlet and outlet pointed up or down.

Yeah, I vaguely remember that discussion, and was thinking the consensus was that it should push in at the bottom so I guess it's pretty much right either way.

Edit: However, the fact that you use Guinness as your avatar makes me think you are right about pretty much anything.
