Y62 Transmission Overheating
Apologies if this has already been covered, but I wanted to ask about people's experiences with the Y62 auto and towing.
We tow a big van, just on 3400kg.
I have a ScanGuage on mine and the trans temp about matches the water temp, a far cry from the LC200 where the trans temp ran close to that of the surface of the sun, even on a cold day.
Over on the Modified Y62 Face Book pages, there has been a lot of talk lately about Y62 trans failure when towing big loads, like our van. Wholesale Autos in Melb have come up with a trans cooler.
I would have argued that this was not necessary based on my 3 years of towing experience with the Y62, but may be it is? I mean, it was always the done thing to add an extra cooler on any auto towing, but is it really needed on the 'Big Nissan'?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi mate.
For what a replacement auto is worth. I would be installing a cooler regardless. Peace of mind really.
