That is the exact same thing that mopar performance sells for our trannys. And
it is only $41 before discounts.
I bought one and was actually disappointed. Even though it was nice and
electric blue powder coated - it
is still just a simple block of aluminum with a "T" drilled into it - two 3/8
holes drilled directly across from each
other and a 1/2 at 90 degrees from the others. Only other thing that comes
w/the kit is 2 of those simple line
fittings w/the ferrul that grips the line when tightened down. Can be made for
much less than half those prices.
On the other hand - MP's blue anodized (or powder coated??) one looks pretty
cool. The docs say it can be
mounted anywhere in the lines - just cut the line and install. Pretty simple
huh?

ps - I heard some mechanics say that there is a check valve in one of the tranny
lines coming out of the rad.
They said it fails often and causes the tranny to fail prematurely. Said to
remove it completely for safety.
Can anyone confirm this?
