Tranny Cooler

Hey guys I can get the B&M tranny cooler which will fit the 5th and 5.5 gens of maximas, part number 70268 for 115 plus tax. This is a better style cooler than the pipes with the weak aluminum fins, it also has a thermostat built in so that if it is cold outside the cooler will be bypassed until the temperature reaches what you want it to be. This is probably the best cooler you can get. IIRC this is what Jime is running on his track car.

Sweetness, I'll order mine in about a week or so through you.

Count me in Ray ill have my funds ready

how hard is this to install? and is this really worth it for non racers?

It's a pretty simple install actually, it is cable tied to the rad, just a matter of plugging the tranny lines into the cooler. Yes it is worth it for non racers, mostly because in certain circumstances it is possible for the tranny fluid to leak into the rad, or the rad fluid to leak into the tranny. It happened to me on my last automatic car. It will keep your tranny cool and you don't have to worry about fluids crossing over when a gasket dies.

Hey guys, I made a minor mistake. I mentioned that you can set a temperature to decide when the fluid is cooled. That was incorrect. the unit determines when it needs to cool down the fluid, and when it doesn't. Here is the explanation from the website...

B&M SuperCoolers are 100% aluminum construction and use stamped plates sandwiched together to create one of the most efficient oil cooling devices available. Not only does this unique design provide for maximized cooling through more efficient heat dissipation but it also provides a much sturdier cooler which is practically impervious to flying rocks or other debris. The Super-Coolers intended for automatic transmission fluid also offer an additional feature known as “Low Pressure Drop”. The coolers assembled with hose barb ends include a unique bypass feature allowing a controlled amount of ATF to bypass the stacked plate core when the fluid is cold. This is beneficial in cold climate areas to guard against lube system failure. Controlled by viscosity, fluid is returned directly to the lube circuit through bypass openings in the stacked plate core. As the temperature increases, more ATF is directed through the core. This highly efficient design combines improved protection against lube system failure with the required levels of optimal heat transfer.

Those are good to have... Had it on mine installed in front of the rad, just need to take the undercover off and there are holes in the lower rad support already so you can install it through them with some nuts and bolts
