2002 Lesabre limited- trans cooler return line at trans location

Yes, that is the exact one.

Look on the housing and you'll see arrows indicating fluid flow direction. You can figure which is IN and OUT. Then it's just a matter of figuring out which line is being pumped to the cooler and which is the return line.

If I buy this do you think they would charge extra to install it or would it be the same price? Btw I live in florida so there isn't much worry to heat the trans first much. I was thinking of installing the aux cooler after the radiator cooler because the radiator is at 195-200°

I can't speak for them, but I'd wager it'll raise the labor since there is more work to do.

A professional shop will charge you around $400-$600 depending on your local labor rate. Also most shops dont like you to supply your own parts. The cooler and aux thermostat gizmo should not be a problem for them but the hoses and fittings will. I'm sure they will mark your bill "Customer supplied parts will void all warrantors on parts and labor". If you have patients, basic tools and some skills you can do it yourself. You may find a DIY video on Youtube that may be helpful.

I may try to do it myself in that case. 4-600 is too much for what would mostly be an hours work imo. All I have to do is slice the line, split the hose off each side, run to front. Then remove grille and mount the cooler and attach hoses then secure hoses via zip ties.
