Howdy. Was getting ready to install a transmission cooler in my 2001 Cherokee, and looking at these mounting rods it came with I can't for the life of me figure out how they're supposed to fit through the AC condenser. Should I figure out a different mounting method, or push the rods through? It looks like it will bend the fins a fair amount. Thanks in advance.

Those push-thru plastic rods rest on the coolant tubes, not the fins, and yes pushing them thru will destroy a few fins but not enough to matter. The problem with mounting a cooler directly on/next to the condenser or radiator is if the cooler should ever become slightly loose with day-2-day driving, it can rub a pinhole in the condenser or radiator. We mounted ours using the 2 grille supports thus spacing it away from the condenser.
