I can help you with installing your transmission cooler, # D13503. On the majority of vehicles the ideal location to install your transmission cooler would be to mount the cooler in front of your vehicle's radiator (position A in the picture).

At this location, the cooler will be able to work more efficiently than installed behind the A/C condenser or behind the radiator. However, sometimes there will be a clearance issue and the cooler will have to installed in the other locations mentioned.

Every vehicle is different, so try as best you can to mount the cooler in the front of the radiator assembly. If you cannot, then proceed to the next location that is listed in the linked article.

I have linked a FAQ articles on transmission coolers that you can review for more information.
