Transmission Cooler

[georgeleedom]

I am installing a B&M transmission cooler to my 1999 S70 GLT. This model is 5.75"x 11"x 1.5". I was wondering if anyone knew the best place to locate it. I'd rather not have it block part of the radiator. I am willing to have it lie flat and add a scoop.

Any ideas welcome, Thanks

I have the same cooler and put it in the driver side air vent of the bumper. It works great for the 850 R bumper, but not sure about the S70.

I looked at that. And it seems the best place. Ive got a problem with the outside temperature sensor and the front fog lamp. There is also a rigid pipe coming from the radiator which is right in the middle of the dead space.

I can move the temp sensor, but I'll have to ask a mechanic if the radiator line can be re-configured.

Thanks

You might have to run a different setup. I don't know what the 99 models are like down there. You might have to go with the scoop idea. I have seen it done before.

That pipe is what you will be cutting into anyways. S70 coolers can be installed in th same way as the 850:
