also, can the additive be added at any time or only with new ATF fluid? I had my fluid changed 7K miles ago. I'm having a tranny cooler put on next week so I'd like to add the additive then instead of waiting another 8K (I swap my ATF every 15K).

Link says it enhances both new and used ATF fluid, so...

This is in response to Jim's request for pics with a cooler and supertones on. It may be hard to tell, but the tones are actually about 3mm away from the cooler itself. When I put the grill on, it isn't too bad either. When all is said and done it is right smack center between the front grill and the cooler.

Had mine installed last night exactly like this and added the BG ATC+ fluid.

Opie should know!

 

Also, would you guys get the 676 or the 677 cooler? I drive pretty aggressively.

 

The flush should include both!

 

Leo, get the 677 it's bigger than the 676 but it's not gigantic like the 678

After you install the cooler, do you have to purge the lines of air? Also, did you fill up the cooler w/ tranny fluid before sealing up the hoses?

 

I did not purge the lines after the cooler was installed. As to whether or not it needs to be done, I don't think it does. My cooler was installed un-primed. I just topped off the transmission ever so slightly through the filler tube.
