Review on Hayden Automotive 678 Rapid-Cool ๐Ÿ”ฅ Transmission Cooler with Plate and Fin Design by Matthew Baltimore

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Why not? Why didn't I understand that earlier?

Works great! By measuring the temp with a digital infrared surface temp thermometer, my ATF stays at around 115-145*F on the coolant return. Don't buy a separate Hayden install kit, it was useless on my 01 taco. Search the web for installation guides, there are several, some are better and may be more applicable to other mods than others. But generally you will have to move 1 of the 2 horns and either drill or screw on some frames for support, but it's not as bad and easier than it sounds. The included ATF hose is sized for the application and don't worry about the hose diameter. I did, and I worried for nothing. The OEM hose fittings and the included hose have a difference of 1/32" and just over 1/2mm, even less. But I would recommend buying two extra feet so you can trim the included hose and the return hose (to the gearbox) It's also recommended to install a built-in magnetic ATF filter ($14-20 + 2 clamps) since tacos only have factory strainers It's the brand and (or rather, if I'm not mistaken ) the size of the stock $400 TRD cooler Save $350 and dress a shemale, buy her.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
