1995 Honda Odyssey - Derale Dyno-Cool Tube-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit - Class II - Economy
- Tube-Fin Cooler
- With 11/32 Inch Hose Barb Inlets
- Standard Mount
- 13W x 7-1/2T x 3/4D Inch
- Derale
13" Wide x 7-1/2" tall x 3/4" deep, reliable, all-aluminum tube-and-fin cooler extends the life and improves overall functioning of your Honda Odyssey's transmission.
Features:
- Improves functioning and overall performance of transmission
- Extends life of transmission and prolongs period between necessary fluid changes
- Cuts down on heat-related failures
- Agitates fluid with built-in, embossed turbulators for more efficient cooling
- Constructed of durable, lightweight aluminum
- Thermal-conductive metal provides excellent transfer of heat
- Includes:
- High-temperature, OEM spec hose with stainless steel clamps
- Nylon mounting rods
- Insta-dapt radiator adapter
- Recommended for small to mid-size trucks and SUVs
- Imported
Specs:
- Inlets: 11/32" hose barb
- Overall dimensions: 13" wide x 7-1/2" tall x 3/4" deep
- Core width: 10-1/8"
- Distance between inlets: 6-1/4"
- 1-Year warranty
Note: The Derale Insta-dapt radiator adapter fits most vehicles with 5/16" transmission lines, but not all. In some cases, additional fittings or alteration of the OEM lines or hoses may be required for installation.
Perhaps the simplest type of heat exchanger, the tube-fin effectively cools a variety of automotive systems. The concept is simple: Fluid cools as it travels through the core by transferring heat out to the fins. The fins then provide the surface area necessary for sufficient heat exchange to take place, allowing the heat pulled from the fluid to dissipate into the surrounding air. Quick, easy and effective.

Wanted to give my Honda better ability to handle a tow. this baby does the job. Transmission definitely cooler operation since the install. The install was simple and straight forward.

2009 Audi A6
I purchased this for my C6 Corvette A6 transmission. I did, however, bypass the radiator and only use the transmission cooler for the C6. I purchased and used the Derale Radiator Adapter fitting 259-13035 for both the top and bottom and just capped them off to keep debris out of the reservoir. I also had to make some custom mounting brackets. This is an excellent product and it keeps the tranny in a great temperature range.

Jeep Grand Cherokee
Can't say anything bad about the unit. It was installed in a Jeep Grand Cherokee that I use to haul trailers occasionally that weigh up to 6000 lbs. So far, I've never overheated the transmission at all, which I attribute to the addition of this cooler. Once again, thanks for a great product.

2005 Honda Pilot
After one of use on a 2005 Honda Pilot, everything is holding up just fine. The one star less is because of the difficulty in installing it on this particular vehicle. Although this is a universal component, it is MUCH easier to install on pickup trucks. Best of luck with a brand new rubber hose going on with any sort of ease.

Our installers typically use some transmission fluid to make installing the rubber hose on the Insta-dapt fitting easier.
by: Dave C12/10/2012
Very easy install, absolutely no leaks anywhere in the system after putting it into service. I did have to get additional hose for the install due to the location I chose for the cooler (personal preference). I centered it on the bumper side of the radiator to provide the best air flow. Remember to get a quart of transmission fluid to accomodate the larger system volume after the install. I took my grill off to provide the most room for putting the cooler in rather than trying to wedge it between the radiator and grill, made install the nylon fasteners through the radiator and cooler much easier. Should last for many years.

1999 Toyota 4Runner
Ive got a 1999 4runner that had the unfortunate luck of having the integrated transmission cooler line rupture inside my radiator. needless to say, the transmission didnt agree very well with having engine coolant running through it and finally died out on me. I bought this transmission cooler to isolate the transmission and the engine cooling systems. The cooler arrived a day ahead of schedule, which is always a bonus. I didnt rate it at 5 stars because I havent had a chance to install it yet and see how it performs, but judging by the reviews that I have read so far, the customer service provided and the prompt delivery, I would say that this transmission cooler will keep my truck running for a good long while. Everything pictured arrived in the box and I have no doubt that it will perform as expected. I will definitely recommend this product and this company to my friends!

2012 Nissan Rogue
I ordered this cooler for my daughter's 2012 Nissan Rogue to fix CVT transmission heating up causing it to into limp mode. When I got ready to install, I found there was no place to connect the hoses to the transmission. The vehicle only had the direct "bee hive" cooler. Install was delayed while waiting to get a "4 tube bee hive" from a different supplier for an additional $114.
by: Barry08/14/2016
The trans cooler was easy to install. I had to go and buy some more hose and mounting screws to make it work but I knew that before I started. The hose was because of where I wanted it mounted. The trans cooler is keeping the transmission about 30 to 40 deg cooler then before.

We installed a tow package on our Ford Flex. The transmission cooler was challenging, but everything else went smoothly. The product works perfectly.

2008 Chevrolet Silverado
This product is great and installation was not bad at all. Only issue I had was that the GM radiator adaptor should come with this unit when you purchase it for a GM truck. Not as an add-on. Thought I could get it at GM but no go. I Had to work with hoses over 30 min to get them over the fittings even with trans. fluid on the hose and male fitting. So far it looks like trans temp has dropped 30 dg.
by: Carl Hu.09/15/2015
Nice inexpensive transmission cooler. Simple installation, although I didn't use the through radiator plastic ties supplied. Drops transmission temperatures well.

2006 Chevrolet Colorado
for my 06 colorado with the 2.8l i4. also used the derale trans oil thermostat to help with warmup of trans fluid in winter. trans never gets above 190F now and the engine will overheat (212F) before the trans does. perfect upgrade for a light duty truck/van/car to provide a little bit of cooling at a compact size. very satisfied with the product
by: Rick09/19/2019
The part itself was easy to install and it does what it is designed to do. Only trouble with installation was with the vehicle, I had to remove part of the front cover on my 09' Avalanche to get to it. Also, I wish I had bought a black one to blend in with the rest of the radiator.

The tranny cooler was really simple to install. Everything you need is in the kit.It took about 45 minutes.
Great product. Delivery was quick.
Thanks to all, no picture at this time, trucks on the road.
by: Jeremy Troesh06/21/2011
The transmission cooler, along with all the other products I ordered from etrailer was an excellent buy. they arrived on time and in excellent condition. The best benefit of ordering from etrailer is the superior customer service. I was even able to talk directly with one of their installers when I had a question.

I was able to install this and the PS cooler in one afternoon. I am not a mechanic, but I am fairly handy. Your milleage may vary. All the parts were correct and fit my 2007 Honda pilot fine.

Easy to follow instructions. You will need to remove the front clip to install. Nothing too difficult.

view full answer... - Could a Fairly Handy Person Install a Transmission Cooler on a 2001 Dodge Grand CaravanA fairly handy person could install a transmission cooler onto a vehicle pretty easily. I have installed a cooler on two of my cars without a problem and I consider myself fairly handy. I attached an installation video of a transmission cooler being installed onto a vehicle to give you an idea of what it is like. Most vehicle will not require the removal of the front end like the vehicle in the video, so do not let that discourage you. I also attached an FAQ article on transmission coolers...

The system installs in line with your current transmission hoses. I have included an FAQ article on Transmission Coolers below. There is a lot of helpful information, including the best places to mount the unit. I have also included a video showing installation of a transmission cooler. Installation will be similar on your vehicle.

So it would be in line from the fluid return line, this is the recommended way to install part # D12906. For mounting the unit, it is recommended that part # D12906 be mounted behind the grill and in front of the Air Conditioning Condenser Core, (see video link for reference). You can mount part # D12906, between the condenser core and the radiator but it will cut down on the cooling...
view full answer... - What to do if a Transmission Cooler Line Comes off and Fluid is LeakedIt really is hard to say, your best bet would be to repair the line if you have not already. Fill the transmission up with the appropriate amount of fluid and then take it to a transmission repair shop to have them check it out. Hopefully you get lucky, but there could be a wide range of potential internal problems depending on how long the vehicle was attempted to be driven and the temperature of the transmission.

- Removal of the Front Bumper and Grill to Install a Transmission Cooler on a 2009 Subaru ForesterFrom the research I did it looks like you will need to remove the front grill and bumper to install a transmission cooler like the Derale Dyno-Cool Tube-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D12906. There will be 16 plastic rivets that will need to be removed. You can use a screwdriver to pop them out. Take your time getting these out so you do not break them. Once the grill and bumper are removed you will have plenty of room to work to install a transmission cooler like the # D12906. I am going...
view full answer... - Installation of Derale Transmission Cooler # D12906 on a 2003 Acura MDXA transmission cooler will attach in-line with the transmission fluid return line on your 2003 Acura MDX. The best way to determine which line on a transmission cooler is the return line from the radiator is to use the following procedure: 1. Start engine while engine is cold 2. Place transmission shift lever in drive for no more than 10 seconds. 3. Stop engine and remove keys 4. Identify the transmission fluid return line by feeling both lines. The coolest line is the return line. You...

This transmission cooler kit provides additional cooling to protect your transmission. Cooler transmission oil gives more reliable, consistent shifts under racing conditions and prevents transmission damage under extreme towing conditions. The overall dimensions are 13" wide x 7-1/2" tall x 3/4" deep.
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 1996 Nissan Pathfinder Towing a 1900 lb TrailerThere really is not a down side to using a transmission cooler on a vehicle. It has been proven that transmission coolers will prolong the life of a transmission. Especially when the vehicle is towing a trailer. I would strongly recommend you install one since you will be pulling a 1,900 lb trailer with your 1995 Nissan Pathfinder. The power switch might enhance the shift points so that it will perform better while towing, but it will not prevent excess heat from building up in your transmission...
view full answer... - How to Determine How Much Fluid Should be Added After Installing Transmission Cooler What you will want to do is check the transmission fluid level after installing the Derale part # D12906 and then add as much as needed. Most likely around a 1/2 qt would be needed but that will depend too on if you spill any fluid (most do) and how long of lines you use.
view full answer... - Is the Hose Included with Derale Transmission Coolers Long Enough for Install on a 2004 Honda PilotThe hose that is included with the Derale transmission cooler, # D12906, is long enough for typical installation locations, including in front of the radiator, as long as it is on the same side as the factory transmission cooler lines. It is entirely possible on any vehicle, including a 2004 Honda Pilot, that you may need to acquire additional hose. I have yet to have a customer complain about the hose not being long enough. I have included some helpful links on transmission coolers for you.
view full answer... - Does a Transmission Cooler Need A Thermal Bypass for Sub-Freezing WeatherI have not ran into any issues where there was a thermal bypass needed for below freezing temperatures when using the Derale Dyno-Cool Tube-Fin Transmission Cooler part # D12906. There is a lot of heat generated when all of the parts get moving in there and a cool transmission is a happy transmission. I can't see the cooler over cooling the fluids to a point that there would be any negative effects. For your power steering I rarely see the need to cool it. Even when hauling a trailer you...
view full answer... - 2006 Toyota RAV4 Transmission Cooler RecommendationAs long as the transmission of your 2006 Toyota RAV4 has external lines you can install a transmission cooler. If you find the radiator there should be two metal lines that run to it that would be used for the factory cooler. You can also check out the transmission, if you find lines running from it those can be used for installing a cooler. The part # D12906 is a very popular option that would work well as long as you have room for it. I actually have it on my car and it does a great...

For your 2012 Toyota RAV4 with the V6 engine the most popular cooler is the Class III Derale # D13503, and this also happens to offer the highest cooling efficiency of all such products available for your RAV4. This is a complete kit with all needed parts. I linked a couple of help articles on the topic of transmission coolers.

view full answer... - Recommended Transmission Cooler for a 2000 Buick CenturyA class I or class II transmission cooler should work well for your needs. I recommend class I transmission cooler # D13101, or a class II cooler like # D12906 would also work to help with the issue you are having during warm weather. Both of these Derale coolers are designed to cool very efficiently and install easily, and either one would be a good choice for your 2000 Buick Century. In addition to the transmission cooler, you would also need the custom fittings # 41418 to match the...

If the available space is to small to allow installation of the D12906, we have smaller plate-fin style coolers like part # D13502 that are actually more efficient at cooling your transmission fluid. This cooler would typically be installed so it would be last in line...

Especially considering the mileage on your vehicle, the length of your trips with the trailer, and since your vehicle manufacturer recommends one.

The same is true for your power steering pump. The Derale Dyna-Cool Tube-Fin Transmission Cooler # D12906 that you referenced...

- Transmission Cooler for 2012 Subaru Outback 2.5i W/CVT Transmission.If the CVT transmission has cooling lines running from the transmission to the radiator (some do, some don't), you can install a transmission cooler. A transmission cooler is an effective and inexpensive insurance policy for your transmission, especially if the trailer you'll be towing is close to the towing capacity of the vehicle or if you'll be towing in mountainous or hilly terrain. If your transmission does have lines, we recommend getting the biggest cooler that will fit in the available...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler for 2017 Ram 1500The Derale Series 6000 cooler part # D12906 would work on your 2017 Ram 1500. For a truck I wouldn't' recommend this as my first choice as it's a little on the smaller size and not the most efficient of designs. Instead I would have recommended something like the # D13503 which is much more efficient at cooling.
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2012 Toyota RAV4For your 2012 Toyota RAV4 the Derale cooler part # D12906 would be a great option. We normally recommend going with the largest cooler that will fit in front of the radiator. In the case of this cooler it measures 13" Wide x 7-1/2" tall x 3/4" so you would need to measure the available room you have. A more efficient cooler that's a bit smaller is the part # D13503 which measures 11" Wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep.

so far so great. Tho sometimes I have to remind the transmission service guys to add a bit more fluid then they are use to.
