Review on Hayden Automotive 526 Remote Transmission Oil Cooler Kit by Bryan Reed

Revainrating 5 out of 5

BIG product idea. Just pay attention to the size and fit.

The professional mechanic I asked to install this for me said "Wow, cool idea" - and commented on both the larger radiator surface area, the attached fan and the thermostat switch (sold separately). Steering. Fan. Unfortunately, this cool box is too big and doesn't fit in my car. too much of. But I left that space open for the front intercooler which I will install later. Therefore this item (Hayden 526) would not fit in the limited space where the stock transmission oil cooler is located. Guys, search/read the Hayden product manual and get the "outer dimensions" (not just the radiator core size) and check where you plan to install this on your car before you buy it. Please note that this is not the same as the "Package Size" that sometimes appears on Revain for this product listing. It looks like I'm going to buy another/smaller Hayden (677) cooler built with the same plate/fin concept. , but it doesn't come with a built-in fan. And then I also buy a 7″ (or maybe was 8″) car fan separately and mount it on the smaller 677 Hayden radiator. Cooler is the area of my storage cooler. With an extra fan it will still do what I want.
