Does the Derale transmission cooler have a specific inlet or outlet port?

No. The instructions state the cooler core will flow in either direction; there is no specified inlet or outlet port.

How is the Derale cooler attached to the radiator or condenser?

Four mounting rods with 1x1 foam pads are pushed through the radiator/condenser core, then mounting clips (with the Derale writing facing out) are installed on the rods and cinched until the foam pads are slightly compressed. Excess rod length is cut off.

Where should the transmission cooler be mounted?

The cooler can be mounted in multiple locations; Diagram #2 shows possible positions, with #1 being the ideal location, #2 second best, and #4 the last choice.

What caution is given when installing the mounting rods?

Do not use excessive force when pushing the mounting rods through the radiator/condenser core, as the force could damage the fins and possibly a tube.

This image shows page one of a Derale Performance transmission cooler installation instruction sheet, photographed alongside the kit's components: a black tube-and-fin cooler core, a length of Goodyear rubber hose, two worm-gear hose clamps, a brass hose fitting, and a bag of mounting rods/clips. The instructions explain that the cooler can be mounted in multiple locations on the vehicle (referencing Diagram #2 for positions, with #1 ideal and #4 the last choice) and note that the cooler core flows in either direction with no specified inlet or outlet port. The 'Cooler Installation – Mounting' section (referencing Diagram #3) gives seven steps: identifying the four mounting rods and 1x1 foam pads, installing the rods on the cooler, sliding the foam pads onto the rods, holding the cooler assembly in place, pushing the mounting rods through the radiator/condenser core (with a warning not to use excessive force to avoid damaging fins or tubes), installing the mounting clips (Derale writing facing out) until the foam pads are slightly compressed, and cutting off excess rod length. The sheet notes instructions continue on page 2 and includes Derale Performance's Los Angeles contact line and website (www.derale.com). Portions of the text are obscured by the parts laid on top of the sheet.
