Towing with Honda Odyssey....
Hey guys thought you could help me.
I planned on towing my 1991 Civic Si on a dolley next month about 6 hours (480 miles) to the National Tour in Toledo (from Lancaster, PA) using our 2004 Honda Odyssey EX with 9000 miles on it.
I heard about a tranny cooler and another cooler I should get. But when I called found out each piece is like $300 plus install is another $400. So that's $1000 just for the 2 coolers and install.
Is it really worth it? Is the Odyssey going to just die for 1000 miles round trip?

Yeah but he's not pulling a 3 thousand pound car with it is he ?

Not me, but a friend. The car has a removable tailer hitch setup that was removed from a wrecked Accord at a Sadisco. Prolly not the safest thing, but it wasn't pulled at high speed on a highway......do what you gotta do.

transmission cooler should be installed, cause if you do it once you'll prolly try doing it again, and again, then you get to 72k miles and your tranny drops out
