Just want to know how hard it is to install a tranny cooler for my AOD-E. How mechanical do you have to be to do this, any links on HOW TO? [Confused]

No offense, but my question is why do you need it on a stock setup?

Generally a tranny cooler is needed when going to a higher stall converter, but if you do brakestands, or just drive the piss out of your AOD, I would STRONGLY reccomend getting one.

I installed the B&M cooler, 19,000 GVW rating. The unit was light & the kit was very complete! Installation was a breeze. I think it's a great $50 insurance.

Whenever i go on long trips or on hot days, the tranny seems to get slugish, especially while at the raceway while running my bad ass 14's [Big Grin]

Why not get one? wouldnt be a bad thing for it!
