ATF Cooler install and Power Steering cooling lines
#1
I was wondering if anyone who has installed an ATF cooler has had problems clearing the power steering cooling
lines, which also run in front of the AC condensor (where the ATF cooler would go). On my car, the PS cooler lines
(a twisted metal tube) are approx 1-1.25" in front of the condensor approximately halfway up the condensor. I
personally can't see an ATF cooler fitting in the small space between the PS lines and the condensor. I know the
coolers are 3/4" thick, but when mounted with the foam pads, the clearance between that and the PS cooling line
would be very very slim.
I looked at Greg Pete's ATF cooler install pictures, and the funny thing is that I don't see the PS cooling lines in
that pic. When I peer down under my hood in front of the condensor, the PS cooling lines are right there. Is it
possible that some 4th gens (mine is a 97 GXE) have the PS cooling lines, and others don't?
Attached is a pic of the PS cooler.

I was thinking about the same thing.
