BrSurfer Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hi Guys, I'm buying another pathfinder, this time a R50 99.5. Off course, I will probably keep my beloved wd21. The more the better , right? I don't know much about R50s.So, here it is my question: Do I need to install a aftermarket transmission cooler in it? I did that on my wd21, but I'm not sure if that's a must for the r50s. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 It's not a common upgrade for the R50's like it is the WD21's. Congrats on the R50! oOo and a 99.5 to boot, nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msavides Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 The 2 rules to having a long life autotragic Transmission. Keep the fluid cool and Keep the fluid Clean. This goes for any vehicle. I would recommend anyone to put a external cooler and external filter on their automatic transmissions. Even thought there is already an internal filter in the oil pan, by putting on an external filter it will keep your internal from getting dirty (the external filter will be finer) and it is a hell of a lot easier to change than that internal filter. just my 2 Cents mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrSurfer Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Cool! Thanks for all your replys folks. Now I can spend that money in something else, still wondering what exactly... I'm going to US next month and I need to figure out what would be the best investments (parts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180sx Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Poly bushings would be a wise choice IMO (I just drove a pathy that had poly bushings front and rear, and let me tell you, what a difference!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift220 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Notice any squeaking 180sx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180sx Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Notice any squeaking 180sx? Not At all. They were well greased when put it (don't know what kind). And on top of that, the owne said that grooves were made in the direction of the bushings. He said it helps hold more grease to keep the bushings lubed well longer.

Thanks for the tip! I believe energy suspension should have all I need, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
