A/T cooler relocation with a VRSF FMIC?

[Norcalgsx707]

Where do I put th A/T cooler and what kind of lines do I need to put on the oil cooler so that everything installs correctly??

I put mine in the stock side mount location. Just cut the "thing" that the banjo bolt goes through. Just make sure that you cut it long enough to allow a hose clamp on there. Oh, and also make sure you use a hack saw, sawzall, etc to cut it and not smash it closed.

Buy about 7-8 ft of 7/16" transmission cooler line from the local parts store, and 4 hose clamps and install the cooler where the stock smic used to be.

I have an aftermarket ipt trans cooler so I had to bend the brackets that the cooler came with for my install. Not sure if u will have to or not. I think several people have mounted it up with only the stock smic mounting holes and bolts but u might have to end up getting creative

a 2g shouldnt have a banjo bolt or anything like that, should just be like a mile long of trans cooler line going to the drivers side, ull pitch all of that and run the bran new line from the trans outlets on top of the trans over to the passenger side where you will mount the cooler at

My friend got me a after market one and I mounted it behind the FMic but I personally feel like thats a bad idea Idk need to see if anyone agrees?
He also told me to get a hose and wrap it from one fitting to another where you put the power steering fluid in to make up for the hard lines, I hope that makes some kind of sense

I mounted a B&M cooler in the area the SMIC used to occupy. I made brackets from 1/8"x1" aluminum bar stock. And I made brackets so that the SMIC duct attached securely to the cooler.
