2014 Acura MDX Transmission Cooler Recommendation and Install Video

Question

Question:

Hi , . is this the correct part for an ATF Cooler for a 2014 Acura MDX with SH-AWD? I have the tow hitch from the dealer but it did not come with ATF cooler. Im looking to tow a bass boat weighing about 3000 lbs. Also, if it is, do you have a video instruction? Thank you

The best way to pick out a transmission cooler for a vehicle is to go with the largest cooler that will fit area in front of radiator. The part # D13502 measures 11" Wide x 7-1/4" tall x 7/8" deep and would be a great choice. I would however recommend going with the bigger part # D13503 since we know it will fit and we videoed the install of this on a similar Honda Pilot like your MDX. The Pilot and MDX are basically the same vehicle.

Check out the video link I attached to see the install.
