Tranmission cooler lines question.

[Flaco]

Hey for anyone who has a transmission cooler. How did you route your lines? the previous owner had it installed but the lines run next to the exhaust and the engine. It's too much heat in my opinion. Any routing suggestions?

That is the stock routing. If the owner did replace them, he put them back where there were in the first place.

I thought only the GNX came with a tranmission oil cooler that sat behind the grill? or am I wrong? Anywho thanks for any input.

The transmission cooler is built into the radiator from the factory. If the previous owner stopped using it and installed a different cooler, he probably didn't touch the lines that run to the tranny and just extended them to the cooler he installed on the front of the car.

I kept my stock tranny cooler in place AND added a cooler as well.

If he didn't remove it, you'll also notice that your engine oil cooler runs to tjhe radiator as well (if it has stock tanks).

What kind of radiator do you have?
