Am getting ready to install a tranny cooler on my car. My question is which line on the radiator is the return line to the tranny. Top or bottom. I did a search and got conflicting results. Thanks.
Auto Trans cooler question
- Thread starter donyw
- Start date
I don't know what model year your Stang is, but mine is a 2002 Mustang GT, and the line from the stock cooler to the tranny is the top line. I don't know if different model years have different setups.
You can find out, by attaching a clear plastic hose to the stock cooler, and running the hose from the stock cooler to a container, then run the engine for a second, to see if fluid comes out.

Yes I am talking about an Auto, mine is an 02 also. Thanks for the info. I was thinking about the line/tube thing as a last resort. Thanks for the info

The temperature thiing is a good idea to. I got a B&M 70268 super cooler from summit. I think it was $50 to the door. Not bad.

I installed a HAYDEN and it seems to work real well. It's mounted top and center in front of the radiator.
I haven't gotten under there and really looked for best place yet, but definitely in front of the radiator and condensor. Where ever I can get it to bolt up in that area really.

How important is an auto trans cooler... I was talking about getting one and i was laughed at, since they're "only used for towing" and my dad who's a mechanic says the lines will often leak once they're installed and stuff. I eventually wanna mod my car and get to the track, so where abouts down the road should i add it, or immediately?

Thats what i thought, however i was ridiculed by others, and my dad was strongly against it. I guess i can add that to the list of mods to come.

If you are worried about the rubber lines leaking, you can replace them with metal lines. I am sure any small garage has someone that could bend them for you.
After the addition of my tuner, and gears I notice things seem a lot hotter after I drive for a while. It is better be safe than sorry.

Need some help convincing your Dad? Visit the TCCOA web site and read the "Ford OD transmissions 101" series.
