yeap cut the top OEM line, and the line from the TOP of the tranny cooler goes back to the transmission, the one from the bottom goes back to the radiator. so after the cut, the one from the top (when looking from the front of the jeep down) will go on the left side of the cut and the one from the bottom of the cooler will go to the right side of the cut. i know i prolly didnt explain that very well.
Hey Scott,
Thanks bro, I knew I should have just given you a call and asked about yours. That explains it perfectly for me. Thanks man.

Can you reach in from behind? I pulled the grill forward a few inches when I replaced my headlight housings. Not sure if you can get to the back of them to replace bulbs. I guess so.

I think the owners manual said to pull it off to change the bulbs. I remember when I first bought the Jeep that I look at trying to change the bulbs from the engine bay, and couldn't see enough room to do so.

You should be running the aux cooler in series with the stock cooler. The return line from the stock cooler should feed into the bottom of the aux cooler and top line of the aux cooler is the return line to the trans.

Ok... potentially very stupid question here... but:
I have a manual transmission. I almost bought a transmission cooler (B&M) today to knock this project out, but I can't find the two hoses that are pictured in the OP's first post.
If this is a major demonstration of my lack of engine knowledge, I'll do it for you...

That's what I kinda figured...
After a bit of homework, I'm gonna go with:
1) No. Manuals are air cooled.
2) The manual tranny does have any tubes coming from it... so to add a cooler would require a pump and system that could move manual tranny fluid.
3) I'm a dork. Good thing I didn't order the cooler.
