Hi: All...I'm trying to find out if I need to add a Tranny Cooler to my Nissan Frontier CC V6 5spd. Auto. trans.
I'm afraid to open the hood incase something bad happens...it usually does, even if I just want to top up the W/Washer juice Alf

Hi: Garand...Dave I found out from another Frontier owner, who actually works in R&D for Nissan, that all auto. trans'd Frontiers come std. equipp'd. with a trans. cooler. He explained that the fluid from the tranny flows out thru the lower part of the main rad. then thru the cooler in front of the rad. then back into the transmission.
Now I can get my stripe kit from Tammy!!! WOOHOO. Alf

We just picked up our new 19 (Escape Goat), and I've been wondering the same thing about towing with our '07 V6 4Runner. It pulled great on the flat interstate coming back from Chilliwack, but I am wondering if we should add the transmission cooler before heading into the mountains.

We have an older 4Runner which did not come with a transmission cooler. We opted to have one installed prior to picking up our trailer - our route required crossing the continental divide multiple times. Although we could possibly be fine without one, IMO it is better to be safe than sorry. The tranny cooler costs far less than a new transmission if it gets fried not to mention possibly getting stranded somewhere. I'm hoping as a bonus that it increases the longevity of our transmission in general.
