Trans Cooler Advice?
Now that I have the LSD and TC on the way, I need to get a nice trans cooler. From using the search tool I have found many different options, but I'd like some more current advice as some of these are from quite awhile ago and by now there may have been more tried and true setups. The two I have narrowed it down to at this point are:
B&M 70264-this one includes the rubber hose and the fittings so it looks like it will basically include everything to install it.
B&M 70265-this one is polished, but the real difference appears that it will need the fittings and hose or hard metal lines. This is the one that PearlPower used on his GS and it looks to be the best option or at least most quality. The question I have is:what exact parts do I need for this setup?
The two are different sizes, but the second one seems like a better setup due to the fittings and the cooler itself seems better, but that's obviously hard to tell from appearance.
What is everyone elses opinion? For mods, so far I am NA with possible spray in the future. Thanks.

I have the Hyden rapid cooler. I like it comes w/ everrthin hoses and all. The 1777 is a medium good 20,00GVW and towing,so more than ample.
It is made just like the B&M compact fins thin size.

B&m
I have the B&M 70264.
Great cooler!! It rated for over 20,000 GVW as well. Alot of the guys on here have that one and they said that they have not had problem even after beating on their cars after the TC install.
The kit does have almost everything. The one thing I found was that I needed to go to Autozone to get more the hose that connect the cooler to the transmission , no big deal and I got an extra 3 ft of hose to use for other projects as well.
You cant go wrong with this cooler.. Great performer and look like a stock (OEM) piece when installed.
Good Luck!!
