Default Tranny Cooler

Are any vendors on here offering a bolt on plug and play tranny cooler for us auto guys. Yes I can fit one on myself but I thought it would be nice to have a kit with pre bent lines, fittings,etc. Just wondering because I want to install one before summer gets here.

No. No one offers a plug and play cooler for the JK. The lines have special connectors on them. Here is how I did mine.

A JK auto fitted with 35" and stock gears will see high temps on long mountain ascents. Even with a trans cooler I've seen mine hit 225° in the mountains. A transmission cooler is almost never a bad idea. See this thread regarding the PO218 trouble code for transmission over heating.
