Jimny 2007 - transmission cooler for an automatic transmission

I have been looking for a tranny cooler, and got my eyes on two types: tube and fin, plate and fin.
A jimny mechanic told me that the jimny tranny is so sensitive that it demands the tube and fin, even that the plate and fin is actually better at heat reduction, because of better oil flow.
Is is true that I need the tube and fin cooler?
Thank you.

If it demands the tube and fin.....but the plate and fin is more efficient at dissipating heat.......then you have a decision to make.........give in to the demands or go with the most efficient design.adirsabag wrote: hello, I am new here, nice to meet you all.

The single tube is the simplest to mount or install.....I've seen a nice one from Mishimoto with a fan.adirsabag wrote: I'm asking what to do. I got it that the plate and fin is more efficient at heat reduction, but is it really that bad at oil flow that the mechanic had to say that i better get the tube and fin?
Mishimoto Cooler Here
Stacked plate would be my choice......but bear in mind I have a left leg and a manual gearbox.

It'll be better than the one you haven't got.....as the saying goes!Lambert wrote: I have also been doing a bit of research on this as I may have to eventually use an automatic for towing. I too was looking at the heavy duty fan assisted one Keith linked to above. It claims to be able to offer a 34 degree reduction in oil temperature. It also looks quite simple to install.
