hey all i was just wondering if anyone knows how a transmission cooler is installed on an automatic LX? i havent been able to find any DIY's, would this involved any drilling? thnx.

Nope no drilling. The only thing you need to do is run an extra hose to replace one of the stock ones cause it's not long enough. And you need to know which direction fluid flows. But I just wedged the cooler between the radiator and condenser and then tightened the screws. It's wedged in there good.

dude, ur stalking me again lol. u did this a while back, answered every single one of my posts. alrighty though, i think ill be getting one soon since ive decided to go turbo. any recommendations? or should i just grab one off ebay?

B&M is what I have. It's a smaller one but still should help. Get the best they have without going into the custom stuff. I think mine was $50 or something. But get a nice one especially for turbo.

It did something I guess. Shifts are better and not so smooth anymore. I've heard heat kills 90% of transmissions, so keeping it cool will at least make the tranny last longer.

Looks like it's us 3 in this thread again........

I looked at B&M's site, and I couldnt find 1 for a manual tranny....
yes, heat does kill! My mom's odessey had a recall on the auto tranny b/c there is so much heat, they said 2nd gear could fail or ... melt away or something....

I have one that is great for FI, but may be overkill unless you run @ the track a lot.

It is the B&M Hi-Tek Series......

gearbox has b&m and that sounds good, so ill prolly go with that. i dont think it matters too much MIT, as long as it does its job, which is pretty easy lol.

i use to do these all the time when i worked for uhaul.. its said they will drop yer trany fluid 20-30 degrees.. ? who knows.. they gutta do something though.. so why not

they are cake to install.. easyest thing i have ever done.. ramps help a lot but you dont need to have them..

just remember to cut off the ends of the lil plastic thingies that are used to mount it or they will hit yer fan and make all sorts of bad noises till they finally snap off..
