3rd Gen 4Runner Tranny Cooler Dimensions

Does anyone know how big of a tranny cooler you can fit on the 3rd Gen 4Runners? Height, width, depth is what I need to know.

I am starting to shop for a tranny cooler for my 1UZFE swap where I will be putting a auto tranny in place of my 5-speed and will need a hefty tranny cooler for it. But since my 4Runner is wrecked at the moment I cant exactly go out an measure it.

Thanks in advance!

I went a little over-kill on mine, Kragen didn't have the right one in stock so the gave me the next biggest cooler for cheap. I ended up with:

MAXI-KOOL; XL Stacked Plate; Extra Heavy Duty, 11-5/8" x 11" x 3/4

Here's a pic of it in, fit in there nice and snug...

Ah, that looks good.

What I am thinking of doing right now is put a cooler here (in the red box):

Sorry for stealing your pic.

If I put one there, It could also have a electric fan on it that I could run while Im offroad or in traffic. It would also blow some air over the A/C condensor. Do the 3rd gen. 4Runners not have a electric fan infront of the A/C condensor?

Thanks

NO electric fans on 3rd Gens from the factory that I know of.

there's a bunch of tranny cooler talk on ttora.com. there's the popular hayden 678 (i think) model like i just put on, and there another one a size up - i want to say 679 but am not sure.

Did you have to modify or cut anything to put one in that big?
I am considering this b&m cooler http://truckperformance.com/products...mber_BMR70268/

I would rather not have to cut anything to make it fit.

Nope, fit in nice and tight behind that vertical beam. Perfect location.

The hayden is 7 3/4x11x3/4 so the B&M is just 1/4" smaller.I agree w/Kevin444 the zip ties might seem a bit cheesy but they work and it's a clean look!If you search there's a write up from I think "transdude" about coolers and the different types out there.
