Question:
Which transmission cooler do you recommend for my truck? 2008 Nissan Frontier 2.5L 4cyl. 5spd manual transmission. Also with your recommendation, will I need any adittional hose or fittings to complete installation? Id like to be able to do the complete job from start to finish and not get started and then find out that I need something else to finish up. Id sure appreciate your help.... Thank you

Expert Reply:
Due to its lack of a pump, and due to the fact that it uses a thicker gear oil rather than transmission fluid, it is neither necessary nor feasible to cool a manual transmission.
However, if your truck is subjected to hard use, an oil cooler would be a good addition. The # D15604 kit, which includes everything necessary for installation, would work well for you.
I have also linked you to an informative article with more information about engine oil coolers.
