GX460 Transmission fluid cooler

[LXJake93]

I put a OEM one on mine but any cooler should be as good or better. I also keep the thermostatic switch pinned open at least in the hotter months.

GX - 2nd Gen (2010-2023) - OEM AT #Cooler Install - #transmission - EDIT: This is more than likely the same setup going into the 2020+ GX 460 with off-road package. This has also long been available since 2010 in Canadian high trim models. As of 2019 this cooler is part of the Executive Package...

The 1st pic is of the trans fluid warmer. Adjacent to it and below the bell housing is where you push essentially a button in and then slide your clip or small nail(whatever you decide). In the 2nd pic you see how it keeps “the button” pushed which keeps the thermostat in the fluid warmer open.

Thank you for this incredibly detailed how-to.

But forreal... thank you... I can't believe it's that easy. Mouth is agape!
