A transmission cooler isn't a vehicle specific item, so you'll base your choice of cooler on its size versus how much room is available in the ideal mounting spot directly behind the grille and in front of the radiator and a/c condenser. Unless you live in a polar climate, you'll want to choose the biggest cooler that will fit into the available space. For instance, the Derale # D13504 measures 11 x 12 x 7/8 inches which would provide plenty of additional cooling. If the available space requires you to go a bit smaller, use the # D13503 which measures 11 x 8-3/4 x 7/8.

The cooler would install inline with the return transmission line from the radiator to the transmission. I've linked you to some FAQ articles about transmission coolers.
