How does AUD$100 sound to fit a transmission cooler? 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be John Adams on  Wed May 30 23:42 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi Brickettes,

I was quoted about $100 (which will just give you change from US $50) by a local transmission place to fit a transmission cooler to my '84. That didn't include the aux. radiator, I already have that.

I have considered doing it myself but decided that it was a bit beyond me.

Apparently there is a lot of time/work in making up the bits to mount it, hence what I deem to be a high price?

Could you just use 4 - 6 cable ties to hold it in front of the radiator? How hot does the radiator itself get?

I don't know where to go to get the bits to connect it all up, although I do understand the method and principal.

I don't think I'd be game to disconnect the existing lines and play around with it all, although if I could supply the bits and the attaching method I could get my local mechanic to do it for $50 / hour.

Your thoughts are appreciated.

John
