    Yes that's right. Unless it's a V6 which comes factory fitted with a trans cooler.

      I recently installed one on my 120 auto as I tow, although the only a camper van I do tow it off road
      and found the trans oil to be black as the others have found, if only for changing the oil its worth the
      exercise.

        Im a big advocate of transmission coolers and a regular full flush (ie 10-12 L of ATF).

        This is from the FJ manual:



        Target 50-80 deg.

        Best thing you can do is get a ODB2 dongle (i bought this as a spare recently for $3.50), and bluetooth pair it to a phone to monitor transmission temperatures.

        Some of my caution come from reading some of the 90 pages here:

          Hey Paul,

          This is the largest one I could fit, a 30 plate 679 Davies Craig, will give you an idea of the fitting, pretty straight forward;

                  I'll probably wait for a supercheap 25% off sale, brings the 679 down to around $135 from around 180.

                  Whitey - what's the canister next to your cooler in your dropbox pics? And the toggle switch? always curious to know what little comfort mods folks are creating. Unless you can't tell me cos it's security related... My Uncle used to have a button under the front grille of his EA falcon that actuated the central locking.. it was awesome at the beach or in a caravan park, never needed to take keys with you, or be with the person holding the keys to get back into the car...

                    Hey,

                    Haha, no it's not security related, it's just a 3-way switch connected to the relay for the compressor on my air horns! If for some reason the air horn relay dies, I can switch back to the oem horns!
