Hi guys was interested in fitting a trans cooler to my auto el, but woundering a few things...
Any benefits ? ( there is sometimes a faint smell of trans oil burning when I drive the car hard) What type should I be looking at ? How hard are they to fit ? Are they able to be bolted up easily ? And how do I plumb it back into the system ? Thanks for any help

Exactly what I was looking for ! I had searched the same thing on ebay and had similar results but glad to see someone provide an actual one for the EL !
Will do some further research into this, thanks joolz |

This kit ive fitted to my last 2 fords
$99 https://www.americanautos.com.au/cgi-bi ... tion=13203 i used the supplied brackets for the bottom, and cut down another 2 right angle brackets (bunnings $3.50) for the top i also bought my own 1 metre length of hose from the transmission shop as the supplied hose was too tight to go over the flared ends of the factory trans lines a $20 pipe bender also allows you to move the steel lines away from the radiator giving you room to slip on the new trans cooler rubber hoses without sharp bends |

That was big help thank you FordFairmont !
 SWC thanks for the offer but I'll pass for the moment. I called up a local radiator joint for some quotes on supply and fitment so I will see what they offer and if it's over what I am prepared to pay I think I will give it a go myself. |

Thanks for all the help guys
I wrote off to a local radiator shop for supply and fitment of the part and was qouted $210 which I thought was a decent price. Will consider my options, just have to set aside time to actually fit it in the back yard. |
