So Iv read the original forum on adding an extra trans cooler while doing the bypass but Im still a little confused. Do I take the hose from the original transmission cooler and put it in the new cooler? Just Wondering if there is a more detailed explanation on installing it.

You've read this ^ thread?

Either way, yes, you take the hose from the transmission cooler output and put it into the aux cooler input.

Also, why would you start a whole new thread versus just posting in the original thread?

Edit: This is the order of flow: Transmission -> Radiator -> ATF cooler -> Transmission
This shouldn't be overly hard to figure out, just follow the transmission lines as shown and ensure that you keep it in the same configuration.

DAfuq? The way you just explained that, It left the original tran cooler output empty and the aux tran cooler output empty. If you have an DETAILED EXPLANATON that would be cool... not everyone knows how do these type of things and I would like to make sure its done right. Sorry I like to be carefull when Im learning new information.

Once you in there and look you will get it. The lines come from the transmission below the oil filter--->go into the drivers side lower radiator-------> out of the radiator on the passenger side---->into the trans cooler -------> back into the trans.

What I did was remove the hose from the nipple on the radiator (drivers) and place it directly on the trans cooler input. Take the other hose off. Done bypassing. Then decide how you want your secondary cooler. I just added a 12" fan to the original cooler with an inline thermostat.
