The transmission cooler, if new should have come with some instructions.
Its very easy to do. Simply remove the steel line which takes the trans fluid out of the stock cooler in the radiator.
You can find this out by removing one line and then starting the engine for just a fraction of a second, and see where the fluid flows from.
Then install a brass fitting into the radiator cooler outlet, that should come with the kit.
Position the cooler on the front of the stock radiator and use the 4 plastic T shaped rods to secure it to the rad. Poke them through the radiatir. between the fins. There should be some plastic disks that go over the end of the plastic rods where they poke throught the back of the rad so they wont pull out again. Cut off the excess plastic rod.
Hook up the hose from the brass fitting to the cooler and another one running from the cooler to the steel line that you unscrewed from the rad. Use the kits hose clamps and snug everything down.
The idea is to have the trans fluid flow from the trans into the stock rad's cooler first them into the new cooler second, then back to the trans.
