2017 Altima 1.8. Figured out you need a 4 port "beehive" CVT cooler upgrade in order to install an auxiliary transmission cooler.

Yup. Nissan didn't do the normal "through the transmission" stock trans cooler setup that makes it super easy to add an aux trans cooler. You have to go find this abomination of a metal thing to swap for the factory two port version. Then you use the extra two ports as a transmission fluid send and receive for the aux cooler.

So dumb. All to stop this stupid thing from constantly going into limp mode.

What a genius piece of superior Japanese engineering we have here lmao.
