#4367, "Stock tranny cooler location" Mar-22-08 10:09 AM by Sllew
I recently bought a b&m aftermarket tranny cooler to run after my stock tranny cooler. The problem is that i cant find my stock tranny cooler. My car is a 99 eclipse gs. Ive searched all over the internet and the forums here, the only pictures ive found on here were broken links on really old posts. I did see two hoses coming from the tranny, but they look like they go directly into the radiator. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit*Looking back in CAPS it looks like the tranny cooler either is the radiator or integrated into it.

They do go into the radiator. That is the stock tranny cooler. It cools the fluid to 195 degrees. The aftermarket cooler should be run after the fluid leaves the radiator, but before it returns to the tranny. Your looking for a final inpan fluid temp, after both coolers, to be around 125 degrees I believe. I dont know which line is the return and which is the feed though, have to get someone else for that.

That is what i was thinking it was, but i didn't think the stock cooler would be in the radiator. Installing it in front of the ac condenser was a little harder than i thought but i got it. Ill probably wait till monday to connect the hoses because it is cold today. I was wondering how much if any tranny fluid would be lost when i disconect the hoses.
