Mount the pump in the passenger side footwell. Weld a fitting to the bottom passenger corner of the trans when it is dissassembled - out of the car. This send line should then run through a filter - to the pump - and then empty through a fitting on the top of the tranny.
Using the fill and drain plugs I would not recommend as you need to detach the lines each time you change the fluid.
Put a switch on the dash. I'd also suggest letting the fluid actually warm up for a lap or two before flipping on the pump. Makes it easier on the pump when the fluid is warm and thinner.
My Archer Talon and most road race cars run a tranny cooler...... but I recently rebuilt the tranny in my '95 AWD and it was in excellent shape even after 105,000 miles and probably 15-20 open track events. Redline fluids and frequent fluid changes.
So the routing goes as followed: from trans drain>trans filter> trans oil cooler> Tiltin pump> trans temp gauge>trans fill plug. If u are using the fill and drain plugs?
