Expert Reply:
The best way to pick out a transmission cooler for a vehicle is to get the largest one available that will fit the available space in front of the radiator/AC condenser.
The Derale Cooler part # D13503 would work well if you can fit it (you should be able to). This cooler measures 11" Wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep. You would also want the adapter fitting part # D13035 so that you don't have to cut or flare any lines.
I attached an install video for the cooler for you to check out as well.
