Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport

Question:

I have a 2000 Montero Sport LIMITED 3.5 L V6 125,000 miles and pull a 3000 pound Keystone LITE Travel Trailer. I just put a new transmission in it and want to protect it when I pull the trailer we camp about 3000 miles a year, mostly in Florida and Georgia. The towing capacity of is rated for 5000 pounds. Will the transmission cooler serve my purpose? Thank you. I look forward to hearing from you.

A transmission cooler will definitely help you to preserve the life of your transmission in your 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport. The number one killer of transmissions is heat build up, and a transmission cool is one of the best products to protect against heat.

I attached an FAQ on transmission coolers for you to check out also.

The Derale Transmission Cooler # D13502 that you referenced would be a good choice for you as long as you have enough clearance for it. You will need to measure the area in front of your radiator to determine if this product would work for you.
