Default Auto trans cooler for F22A1?

My auto-trans su*ks... after car is warmed up.. auto trans still jerks..changing gears.. P<->R<->N<->D specially on D mode.

Last month I payed $1000 for trans-rebuilt at local Honda Repair shop.. I still have life time warrenty on it..
If it get little more worse I will go and compain about it..
Mean while...

I think B&M sells some universal tranny cooler kits.
Should be a couple hundred for the kit.

go to pepboys and look for a Hayden tranny cooler. there are several models to fit your liking. they run from $40 - $100 dollars. i personally have the medium duty 403 model which was about $43 after tax. these coolers mount infront of the radiator, so you don't want an enormous model blocking up all the air flow.

from what I've heard the 403's tube+fin design seems to suck. They make another model that is plate + fin which is much better. You can get B&M tranny coolers that use the plate+fin design for about the same price including all the fittings.

Now I'm thinking I want to get one, but the only install guides out there are for the V6 Accord. Does anyone have an install guide for the 4cyl? either 5th or 6th gen?
Would install instructions for the 6th gen V6 be that much different than the 4cyl?

lol, you can get your local UHAUL to install it for you. Yes I said UHAUL, as they sell their own brand of coolers as part of their towing pacakages, since ATs can wear out much faster when towing stuff.

eesh ... i'm not too sure about install directions and differances. all you need to find is the return and feed lines for the tranny fluid and you're set.

true. The kit usually comes with general mounting instructions and guidelines, so it may not even be that hard. You could always get UHAUL to do it

You aren't manually shifting through the gears are you? That will ruin the tranny.
