    No trans cooler? I would invest in one if I were you. It goes inline before the radiator. Heres mine.

    I did that to mine. It takes awhile. Itchy. I installed them then found the spray I was supposed to use after wraping them :(. Careful with the end clamps, kinda finiky.
    The big one is easy. It's the smaller ones that are tricky.
