Transmission Cooler For Tacoma PreRunner 4 Cylinder 2.7 Automatic Transmission
Is it appropriate to install a TRD transmission cooler (TRD 00602-16491-002)
in a 2000 Tacoma Prerunner 4 Cylinder (3RZFE) 2.7 Automatic Transmission with air conditioning? My Tacoma is a 2WD regular cab. I asked a mechanic if he could install one and he said no problem. When he called a Toyota distributor/dealer for parts, he was told that it wouldn't work. I didn't understand why not...something about the radiator. I looked under the hood and there wasn't much room between the air conditioning condenser and the grill. If the TRD won't work, what about a Hayden or other aftermarket Trans Cooler. THANKS! |
I work at Toyota and I would still have to ask the parts department if
TRD made a cooler to fit your Prerunner. They have full color manuals that show the TRD kits and any available individual parts in the kit. I would suggest you go in person to a Toyota parts counter to look at their literature; find out firsthand. OTOH, an aftermarket cooler can certainly be added to your system. There's nothing special about your vehicle that would prevent it. These coolers are usually very thin and maybe 15" long in width on average. I think you could tie one to the condensor near the middle unless the vertical hood latch support member is too obtrusive. It would be safe to assume the aftermarket unit would be much cheaper.
