Expert Reply:

For your 2011 Chevrolet Traverse, I would recommend installing the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler, # D13503. The main difference between this transmission cooler and # D13303 is the design. The plate-fin design is more efficient that the tube-fin design because they force fluid between much smaller plates that agitate the fluid. The fluid leaving the plate-fin style is cooler because the smaller, flatter plates allow more fluid to contact the aluminum surface inside the cooler.

I have attached a few articles on transmission coolers for you to check out. I have also attached an installation video for you to check out. The vehicle in the video is different from yours, but it should give you an idea of what is involved for the installation.

This cooler includes a universal adapter fitting, but most customers find it easier to just cut the transmission fluid return line and install compression fittings. To ensure you choose the correct compression fitting for your vehicle, you will want to measure the diameter of your transmission lines. The most common size is 3/8 inches, but it would be safe to measure first. I have attached links to the compression fittings that we carry, part # D13031, D13032, D13033.
