Question Transmission Cooler??

I have seen some recommendations on installing an extra transmission cooler. Anyone have more information on just which type I should get? Brands, flow rate, specific models? I have seen many different models on ebay and dont know which one to get. Also anyone have any how to on how to install one, pitfalls, things to do or not do? I will take whatever I can get, I just want to install something as I know my 93 ES will have a transmission problem sooner or later based on other threads.

Cool

Stacked plate, or a racing design. The bigger the better, but anything is far better than nothing. To install one you mount it, pull a stock transmission cooler line & route that to the new cooler. Then go from the new cooler back.


I suggest routing the flow transmission -> stock cooler -> new cooler -> transmission.

Some of the RX300s came with the tranny cooler, but there are better aftermarket options for sure.
