GNX transmission cooler pictures

[MarkJamesGN22]

Does anyone have a picture of how the GNX transmission cooler mounts and line routing. I have ordered the mounting brackets from ebay. I will locate the cadilliac cooler or something close but just want pictures to make it look as close to factory as possible. Thanks!

that trans cooler install is not correct for GNX

 

[pacecarta]

there are diagrams in the hardbound gnx book and in kirbans guide book
the cooler was similar to the cadillac cooler and was avalable as an aux cooler over the counter through gm but didnot come with correct brackets
the rubber lines were attached to cooler with crimp rings and at the rad side
one rubber line to the rad cooler used a 180 steel line with a male inv flare end
the other line used a straight steel line , both were connected to the rubber with a brass crimp collar

I have the (original) Dennis Kirban GNX Style Trans Cooler which I think was a good design. If you'd like I can take some pictures tomorrow and post them.

Would you happen to have the measurements of this cooler? Thanks!

If you need more pics lmk. This is a spare one I have, you can't see it when installed as it is between the radiator and condenser. The L shaped portion has rubber bushings and wraps around the top of the radiator. Nice design, but they (GM) could have done a better design with the hoses.
I have one of these installed on my GN for over 30 years with no issues with Trans or engine over heating.
