Transmission Cooler & Temp Gauge - 01 TJ
 

Hi,

I am putting a temperature gauge for the auto tranny just to monitor what it
is doing. I am thinking about putting a cooler in at the same time. Can
anybody tell me which one of the lines is out from tranny. I know I can
take one of them off and just crank the engine and see which oil blows out,
but there must be someone more knowledgeable than that. Also, are the ends
on the lines which go into the radiator threaded?

I have checked with the local dealer, there is no Mopar auxiliary trans
cooler for TJs, but there are for Grand Cherokees. So I am going with a B&M
unit.

Appreciate any comments and input.

Thanks

Look where they go into the radiator. It is marked

I tow a lot with my jeep so put both on my 04. With the operating temp up to
normal you can feel the lines and tell the difference. The lines are rubber
to the radiator. Disconnect the line and splice it to the cooler and put the
other one back on the radiator. I tapped into the Trans pan for the sending
unit. I think I paid about 50 bucks for both from a supply house in Dallas.
I got the brass splice from Home Depot. (plumbing) I used garden hose on the
"V" support bars and mounted thought the radiator like normal. Hardest part
was where to locate the temp gauge. Hope this helps. Temp will go to over
200 in traffic jam as it is going to be the same as the engine temp . If you
need any other info let me know

All auto TJ's have factory transmission coolers. If you want to add an
additional cooler the left side is the pressure line and the right side is the
return.
