The best way to pick out the best transmission cooler is to measure the area in front of your radiator to see what size cooler would fit and pick the biggest size available.
The Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13611 is a pretty small cooler, but if you have limited space it would help and it does come with an installation kit.
If you can fit it I would go with a larger one like the Derale Transmission Cooler # D13503. Check out the install video I attached for this cooler.
You may also be interested in purchasing the recommended fitting for your vehicle part # D13025 so that you would not have to cut or flare any lines.
I also attached an FAQ article on transmission coolers.
