5. Install new cooling pipes:
* Insert new cooling pipes into the automatic transmission housing and tighten the mounting bolts.
6. Connect the cooler hoses:
* Place the cooler hoses onto the fittings of the new cooling pipes and secure them with clamps. Make sure the clamps are tightened securely.
7. Install the automatic transmission pan:
* Clean the mating surfaces of the pan and automatic transmission housing.
* Install a new pan gasket (if necessary).
* Screw the pan to the transmission housing and tighten the bolts to specifications.
