I'm looking to see if anyone knows if a Denso transmission cooler is available? Specifically for an 2003 lx 470
Mine started leaking last week.

I believe the Toyota part is 32910-60130.
Or is the dorman brand any good? I'm not looking to spend $500 on this but I also plan on keeping the car for years.

So what's your guys opinion?
 
That's the best price I have seen on the OEM. I might go for it.

I never thought of getting it repaired. I just assumed those sort of things were just replaced. It's got a leak somewhere about half way up it. I can't pinpoint where exactly till I clean it up some. But maybe I'll start with seeing if it's something that can be repaired.

Not sure what is wrong with yours but you might have it repaired/brazed at a radiator repair shop.

So i went ahead and got the part from partsouq.com. It arrived and looks great. The old one had a lot of corrosion under the paint from the road salt im guessing.
My only problem is i can't find the replacement nuts for the mounting bracket. I found all the bolts and got those ordered along with some new hoses, but several bolts broke off in the nuts that slip on to the transmission cooler

I have been looking online at parts diagrams, and stopped at a local toyota dealer, and no one can seem to find it.
Attached is a picture i found on the internet.
So does anyone know where i can find the part number for this nut?
 
Called another dealership, and no one is able to help me. So now I might be looking for creative solutions for the nut. Since I can't get a wrench to the back side, any ideas for making something work?
 
small hex bolt in from the back, there should be enough room for a box wrench or even grinding one down thinner for a backup.
then nut the front. I looked at mine, seems like a thin wrench would work. Knowing how lazy I sometimes am with my own car Id' probably only use the closest side.

finding those retainer square nut things might be impossible.
 
Hahahaha. I feel dumb, yes I should be able to do that. I didn't even consider that cause that's not how I took it off. I'll just put the brackets on first. Sometimes all it takes is another pair of eyes. Thanks!
 
Sorry to resurrect an oldish thread. Do any of you guys know a ballpark BTU rating on the stock tranny cooler? Can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks
