Tranny Line Routing?

[Jas89TTA]

I noticed on my TTA when I installed the tranny that the trans lines on my car do not go to the radiator. They were routed to lines on the LH fender-well going to a tranny cooler is this correct or did someone re-route them this way? The radiator has plugs on the RH side of it but I always thought it was because the previous owner removed the oil cooler and the oil cooler lines went there. If the tranny lines are suppose to go into the radiator should I route them that way or will it be fine just going to the tranny cooler? The cooler is mounted up against the radiator with the supplied hold down straps. Thanks, Jason

Tranny lines originally went to the radiator.

As far as how your set up is, its my understanding
that you're supposed to run them through both, radiator and trans cooler. I'm sure someone else who has done this can chime in though and confirm.

Yep you should run it throuhg both the original tranny cooler and through the additional one. Here's a great write up on how to install one with lots of pictures http://home.comcast.net/~tta1456/transcooler.htm
