Hayden Automotive 402 Ultra-Cool Tube and Fin Transmission Cooler
It is an economy style transmission cooler kit. Coolers are round tube serpentine design. It has ultra-low profile to ensure easy fit. Kits contain cooler, hose and mounting hardware.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.

Can't beat is for the money and saved transmission!
Well I did alot of shopping before deciding to buy this cooler from Amazon.
One major consideration was price of course. You can't get it any cheaper anywhere!! Trust me I have checked.
Also this one fits perfect for my 2002 Honda Odyssey which is prone to have transmission failure and did at 84,000 miles and now have 101,000 and I just bought it so I want to last a very long time.
After installing it inconjunction with my flushed oem cooler I noticed that the line temperature was much cooler after driving than without the cooler. So that alone will help save the transmission.
The kit was complete for my setup and was very easy to install.
I decided to spray mine lightly with flat black paint so that it does not showup through the bumper.
I am a BMW master technician and I would for sure recommend this cooler for its build quality, function, and price.

Completely failed.
This item worked great for about 6 months. Then while driving in cold weather one of the clamps broke on the cooler. Unbeknownst to me the transmission fluid seeped out and my car stuttered to a stop. I repaired it and refilled the fluid, and the car worked for about 200 miles then the transmission completely stopped working.

I would either recommend a better kit, or simply buy higher quality clamps. I have replaced the transmission but I now use two better quality clamps on each fitting instead of one cheap chinese clamp like in this kit.

Don't skimp on a kit like this when your transmission is at stake.
Excellent fluid cooler
This fluid cooler replaced a liquid-to-liquid power steering cooler on my SCCA competition car that kept melting down power steering racks and pumps. The power steering pump now runs cooler and doesn't fail due to the use of the Hayden 402 fluid-to-air cooler. This item installed in about 30 minutes by extending the old cooler lines and mounting the cooler in a well-ventilated area. I used the supplied piece of extension hose and the special zip-ties in the kit.

My only complaint is that the kit lacks hose extension barbs and/or hose clamps. In many cases, and mine in particular, my fluid hoses had to be extended to reach where the new cooler was mounted. Adding these items to the kit would be very helpful, otherwise you've got to stop at your local hardware store. I'm giving it four stars for this, because you can't really install the cooler w/o these items.

Otherwise, it is excellent, looks good and out-performs the factory cooler by leaps and bounds.
