Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific items, so the idea is to choose the largest, most efficient cooler that will fit in the space available. The best and most efficient place to mount a transmission cooler is directly behind the grille in front of the radiator and A/C condenser. If the space available will accommodate its 11 x 11-3/8 inch dimensions, the Derale # D13614 would be an excellent choice.

The fittings needed will depend on the diameter of your transmission lines. For best results, use a universal fitting, for a 5/16 inch diameter line, use two of the # D13031, for a 3/8 inch line use two # D13032 or for a 1/2 inch line use two # D13033 fittings.

I have linked you to some FAQ articles about transmission coolers that you might find helpful.
