04 Max Rad without Tranny Cooler?
So i needed a new RAD as to a leak, so i purchased a new one (5spd) and it had a IN and OUT for the AT lines. As i pulled out my old rad, and disconnected the bottom Rad hose, there was no Tranny lines??? it had a cooler. but it looks OEM??? anyone know anything regarding this?

walter white: The 2004 Maxima's had both 4 & 5 speed automatic's and 6 speed manual. The 5 speed auto did not use a transmission oil cooler. I assume that the 4 speed auto (since it was a carry-over from prior years) had a transmission oil cooler. The 6 speed standard would not. As noted by DennisMik probably less expensive for Nissan to use one radiator for all three transmissions type. 2005 and later years only had the 5 speed auto and 6 speed manual, therefore the radiators in those years did not contain a radiator with provisions for transmission cooler,

The 5sp auto does in fact have a transmission fluid cooler, but it's integrated to the transmission housing and doesn't use a cooler within the radiator like most other auto transmissions. On the 5spd auto, the tranny cooler is at the front of the transmission housing and looks like a bunch of flat steel discs stacked on top of each other. Picture courtesy of my6thgen.org
