Has anyone put a transmission cooler on our generation maxima? If so would it benefit at all and which one would you prefer.

 

This is complicated. It is complicated because the transmission takes time to warm up to the correct temperature. Much more than the engine. If you add a transmission cooler, then you (1) will extend that time and (2) may also never get the temperature, if you live in a northern climate, to the correct operating temperature. Both are detrimental to your transmission.

If I lived in a climate that was excessively warm, then I would (1) decrease my transmission fluid drain and fill timeline (30k-40k) and (2) change out my engine coolant every 3-4 years to combat the effects of the hot climate.

That is how I would roll.

 

I have one which was included when i got my transmission rebuilt in October 2020 at 138k

 

how much did it cost to rebuild? Mine is at 115k miles and I’m worried if it’s even worth to pay for it to be rebuilt

 

$1500
