go to your local wrecking yard and get the BIGGEST tranny cooler you can
find, usually off of a taxicab or a tow truck, grab the hoses off the tranny
lines as well as the hose clamps, you shoud be able to set yourself up with
the cooler and lines for less then 20 bucks.
Im not being cheap here but whats the difference between a new cooler and a
used cooler. NOTHING except for the extra money you will spend for the new
one.
Good luck

I have a 1996 PathFinder that I want to use it to tow a 18-ft aluminum
boat that is around 2420-lb (maximum estimated weight) including the
trailer. The max trailing weight of the 1996 PathFinder is 2500-lb
(5000-lb with oil cooler), and its gross combined weight is 7000-lb
(9500-lb with oil cooler). Seem like this 1996 PathFinder just meets
the requirement of towing the boat.

My questions a

- This 1996 PathFinder barely meets the requirement
without having a transmission oil cooler. I am
wondering if I may be pushing it?

- I intend to tow the boat for a total 80-miles per
a round trip mainly in summer (I live in New Jersey).
Is this too much mileage for the 1996 PathFinder
without a transmission oil cooler?

Basically, I am just wondering whether I may need a transmission oil
cooler for the 1996 PathFinder.

Thanks in advance for any info.
