I got mine for $217, sounds like your getting ripped. I also have the
Trans cooler, just cut off the pipe and put in a piece of rubber hose.
This is what i did and it is working just fine, I would check around for a
good local radiator shop and check prices, like i said, you are getting
screwed at over $400.00
