Installed the largest B&M supercooler available as a transmission cooler, since the BeCool radiator has no integral tranny cooler. This cooler is twice as thick and 50% taller than the previous cooler I was running. B&M recommeded I at least run the thicker cooler, but went the full distance for an additional $16 dollars. Hopefully this will give me long life out of the transmission.
Given the routing around the bat wing pan, I just opted for braided line from the tranny to the cooler. I should put a heat shield where the line runs close to the exhaust, and add some abrasion protection so I don't have braided line cutting through aluminum parts.
Summit Racing gave me a challenge in the installation. I ordered a pair of 3/8 inverted flare to AN6 adapters, but got caught with a misship, where one of the packages inadvertantly had a 5/16 inverted flare to AN6 adapter. To temporarily get things together I made a short tube assembly with 3/8 flare on one side and an AN6 tube nut on the other, and used a AN6 male-male fitting to finish the job.
