Can a trans cooler extend the transmission life?
I think that you have less to worry about driving on the highway in hot weather that driving around town or towing where that transmission is always working. Trans coolers do help extend transmission life through extending the life of the trans fluid.

Can a manual transmission be swapped for an automatic transmission?
In order to swap your automatic transmission for a manual (or vice versa if that’s your objective), you’ll need to disconnect the current coupling material and install the new one. There will also be entirely new pedal assemblies that are required, and, of course, the shifter and connecting components.
When is a good time to change transmission?
If you’ve already committed to changing the transmission then it’s a good time to evaluate changing the engine as well. This makes the transmission swap a little bit simpler and for older cars is generally a good investment anyway since it’s likely that the engine has a good number of miles on it.
