What are the 2 threaded holes on the bottom right? Are they linked to the rest of the cooler or are they a separate cooling area. (Check the manual for that one) They could be used for the trans cooler.


The Trans cooler hoses I think are 1/2 ID but I am not sure. You will need to check what they are once you take them off your car or check with toyota.

Now, I am guessing your trans cooler is threaded input output. You will need to get 2 90* brass fittings from home depot/lowes, or you can use Earls fittings. Brass will be cheaper by a long shot.

2 of these but 90* or 45* bends



then you will slip the hydraulic hose over the nipple side and clamp it down. Make sure you take the trans cooler with you so you have the proper threads matched up. Dont forget to use Teflon tape on them as well.

u must mean the ac condenser...i dont have a clue how to install one...maybe check out the chiltons manual...

[LewFX]

you forgot to add pack of smokes to your list and wheres the how to?

[94veilsidecelica]

this may be a stupid question but i havent looked yet....to replace the radiator in a 94 gt m/t does it drop down or pull up and out?

you have to pull up and out because of the way the mounts are on the bottom.

[Harold_Fastwaker]

Looks good bro. Where did you end up mounting the trans cooler at?
