I have been looking on the forum and I cant find any detailed instructions or pictures for installing a transmission cooler. Would someone be able to point me in the right direction? Anything with help....Thanks guys!
 
Here's what I did:
a) Grab a tranny cooler from a Ford Explorer
b) Get 6' of 3/8" power steering hose from the local shop
c) Get 2 brass barbed connectors for 3/8" hose
d) Mount the cooler in front of the radiator - you will need to bend a little bracket
e) Cut the soft line from the rear of the tranny and use the hose and barbed connectors to splice in the tranny cooler.
f) Drink beer and check fluid level in the tranny.

Total cost was about $35 including beer.
 
im assuming you dont have the factory cooler. well, the stock lines should go through the radiator right? at least in my 89 they do. find the return line and hook it into it. i only needed about 15" of hose. i ran it inline with the stock factory cooler and the line thru the radiator cooler for triple the cool.
