1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport Question #1-Towing-Transmission Cooler per owner's manual
 

Hi,

I have already found the answer to one of my towing questions here but
I have more. The manual states: Transmission Cooler......Auxiliary
Cooler Required. I found what they are.

My question: Do I need one? I'm going to tow my 700lb motorcycle from
Michigan to California in September,

Thanks,

Sam

I have more question but that's it for now

"probably not" I've towed a trailer from Calagary Alberta to Oklahoma
and it didn't bother the transmission one bit. All you have to do
is stop every now and then to relax, stretch, and let the transmission
cool off a bit. The Aux cooler is more for heavy duty, near capacity
towing. 700lbs even with the trailer is light towing.

It probably isn't 'required' for only 700 pounds but would be a very good
idea...

It doesn't take much extra heat to cook transmission fluid.
