Which Way Do Derale Transmission Cooler Ports Need To Face
Question:
Hi all, I installed the cooler with then ports facing upwards. I mounted the transmission fluid input on the top port of the cooler. Shall I be worried about air trapped in the cooler?

Expert Reply:
Per Derale, the cooler orientation is not critical, it can be mounted ports up, down, left or right. Cooler core will flow in either direction, there is no specified inlet or outlet port. If you installed the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13503 with the pots up you won't have an issue. If you have another brand then I recommend checking with the manufacturer as there are some that do have specific requirements for which way the ports face.
