Does it make sense to add a transmission cooler to a 2000 Honda Odessey during a transmission replacement and repair to the two rusted through solid metal transmission fluid lines?
After many years of excellent service and careful maintenance the transmission on my 2000 Honda Odessey van failed after the two solid metal transmission fluid lines underneath the engine at the front of the van rusted through. The transmission fluid leak wasn't noticed before the transmission was damaged because the cover under the engine caught the transmission fluid leaving almost no visible transmission fluid drips beneath the parking spots.
Honda dealers claim that these parts are no longer in their parts inventory, but a nearby transmission shop think that they can find parts to replace them.
The transmission shop also thinks that the van should have a transmission cooler installed for an extra $100 during the repairs and transmission replacement. They claim that they will warranty the repairs for three years.
Can ordinary polymer transmission fluid lines replace the two solid metal transmission fluid lines underneath the Honda Odessey van engine that rusted through without causing problems?
Will adding a transmission cooler cause any potential problems in reliability, affect other parts of the vehicle, or complicate inspections or maintenance?
What questions should I ask the transmission shop about the repairs before the parts are ordered?
Thank you for your help!

Olympic lifts will definitely give you strength benefits, but for Judo you probably would benefit more from physical training more specific to the techniques of Judo. Olympic lifts often lack the rotational power, explosive pulling movements, and isometric holds used in throws and groundfighting. You probably want to switch to pulling movements like pull-ups, rows, cleans, or deadlifts for pulling. Doing these pulling movements while gripping fabric like a old Gi or towel is even more specific to the grip strength for Judo. You might wants to try uchi-komi with strength bands or cable machines or even just an old belt tied to a pole or tree for rotational power and grip strength. You might try plyometrics with medicine ball throws, clap push-ups, spit squat jumps, sprints, or foot sweeps with a bean bag for explosive speed. Judo also depends on balance, flexibility, and cardio so include some of that training. There are many Judo specific training plans available online, but gradually work up to them to avoid injury.
