Default Transmission coolers
I’ve seen people mention them on here and elsewhere online. Anyone have experience with them? Are they going to make a transmission last longer? I’ve also heard about radiator coolers...

I put 2 on my 99. Dropped the transmission temp by about 40f. I think it will make any transmission last longer that runs a little too hot. The U140E on these cars appears to be one of them.

I think the transmissions in those older ES suck or something. Never heard anything bad about 02-06 ones

The 99 to 01 were hit and miss. Some report they last a long time and some don't. However the 97-98 are considered bullet proof, not sure about pre 97

There it is. I was able to fit 2 of those in front of my radiator, I've had them since July 2017 apparently and still no leaks so that is good.
