Default Towing Capacity

It looks and works like a small radiator. It routes the transmission
fluid through a series of tubes with cooling fins on the outside. It is
usually mounted in from of your car's radiator. You can also get oil
coolers and even power steering coolers. You can buy it but you might
want to have it installed unless you are mechanically inclined.

transmission fluid changed according to the schedule.

Also, see if there is a transmission cooler installed. If not, have a

shop do it. It's inexpensive.


Absolutely, tranny oil coolers are $100 or so and easy to
install. Definitely do it. Be careful when pulling the boat out of
water.
