FMIC on 2G Automatic

[johnfsmith]

What will I need other than the FMIC and piping to install a FMIC in my 2G Auto? Will I have to move the trans cooler or do I need a new one? I will need a new fan too right?
Will need to do anything with the a/c?
Thanks

Depends on the FMIC. It's better to swap out that tiny trans cooler for a bigger sidemount one anyway, although I have seen FMICs with it still in place. Most will allow you to keep the PS coil and some say you need to reroute it. I've also seen little sidemount PS coolers that look pretty cool; I'm considering one for when I get my FMIC-- put the tranny cooler on the passenger side where the stock SMIC was and put the PS cooler core in the driver's side wheel well. You shouldn't need new fans, but again it depends on the particular IC piping.

p/s core ? there is none. ( ya prob plan on getting one )

the stock p/s cooler should be fine were it is. I also dont think its that
puney. It is after all the same core most people run for oil-coolers.

Yeah that's what I meant. Sorry for any confusion. It's just a little bent copper(?) tube with fins running through it, similar to the tiny stock A/T tranny cooler.

You don't need anything more than you would for a MT DSM. I had a FMIC on my 95 and that is all I used. The A/T DSM has the tranny cooler on the drivers side if I'm not mistaken. Sure upgrading it is a good idea but not necessary.
