I wanted to ask if my steps are correct to rectify the Transmission/Coolant Issue. If not can you please comment? I do need some better examples of step 1. Step 1: Bypass Internal Transmission Cooler. Use the "Auxiliary" Cooler on the R51. This thread speaks to "bypassing" the Transmission Cooler. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/37931-r51-owners-how-to-save-your-transmission/ I wish I could see another write up, because the photos and descriptions are hard for me to make out. I wish he had arrows on the photos so I was 100% sure. Step 2: Install an External Transmission Cooler: Connect new External to auxiliary cooler. I personally have this one selected, Hayden Automotive 679 Rapid-Cool Plate and Fin Transmission Cooler This video seems to demonstrate how to accomplish this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ2v752t1Fk Step 3: (Optional) Install some type of inline oil filter to the setup. It seems people have caught tons of debris this way. Some claims that the : Fleetguard 6500 3 micron filter has success. * I don't really see any examples of how to do this. I would assume you are cutting a line, and putting it in line. But is this on the return side? <- This video is very informative, and I wonder if all "Inline" filters work this way.

I just purchased a 05 pathfinder. I'm scared so much of this radiator issue. Just to be clear. When you disconnect the lines from the transmission to the radiator, you go to the new Transmission cooler. And the old connections on the radiator remain open and disconnected?
