Yes, I do seem to recollect it's plumbed from the heater piping (I 
had to fiddle with this stuff when I replaced my AT.)  Anyway, I 
don't think you could quickly adapt this cooler to a AT that has hard 
lines plumbing the AT fluid to the radiator, as the aux rad cooler 
gets it's AT fluid from 2 ports on the back of the tranny sealed with 
O-rings, not the typical threaded fittings that hard line plumbs to.

In the situation presented, I think the most expedient method of 
repair would be to use an aftermarket AT oil cooler as other listers 
have suggested along with the radiator available in your area.
