auxillary transmission cooler 200 1989

I am (slowly) trying to install an auxiliary transmission cooler. . I have the aux cooler on hand, just trying to figure out exactly where to install it, tho I think in front of the radiator is best. Need some advice.

Should the route of the (fluid) hose lines go first through the regular radiator then circulate through the aux cooler then return to trans or vice-versa?

My guess is that’s the correct way>>>> the fluid gets cooled off some at the radiator first, then flows through the aux cooler to get cooled even further then returns to the transmission. (..did I just repeat myself??)…..duh?..:oÞ~~~


The actual physical installation of the aux cooler is a puzzle for my old brain. I may need to get some L brackets to help fasten it to the metal "plate" that goes from one side to the other several inches in front of the radiator. There's a (gap) space there that should hold it somehow. Plenty of "pre-drilled holes to run the lines through, tho i may have to drill out one more hole about 1.5 inches in diameter to accomodate the 2 flexible "rubber" flow lines.

If my post makes you think Im old and confused---I am. Hehee :o)
