Can you bypass a transmission cooler and still be okay if you are not using your vehicle for towing?

Never do you bypass a transmission cooler. Your transmission will overheat if you do. It doesn't matter weather you tow something or not.
YESSSSS FOR SURE YOU CAN AND IT"S BETTER TO DO IT IF YOU LIVE IN A HOT CLIMATE (FROM 10 DEGREES CELCIUS )
THE MOST IMPORTANT IS TO INSTALL THE BIGGER TRANS COOLER OR 2 MEDIUM SIZE IN FRONT OF THE CAR JUST BEHIND THE GRILL
DON'T PUT HEAT FIRST PASSING TROUGHT THE STOCK RADIATOR
I HAVE INSTALLED 2 MED SIZE ON A GRAND CHEROKEE AND A BIG ONE ON MY 86 F150 FOR BOTH I BYPASS THE STOCK RAD
NO MORE TRANS HEAT PROBLEMS SINCE 3 YEARS
SMOOTH COOL RIDE AND ATF KEEPS HIS COLOUR AND FUNCTIONS LONGER
TRANS GAUGE HAVE BEEN INSTALLED TOO AND I READ 170-175°F EVEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WITH A/C IN MAX POSITION
DO NOT BELIEVE ANYBODY EXCEPT YOUR TRANS GAUGE BECAUSE IT WILL NEVER LIE
NEXT I WILL INSTALL A DEEP PAN
BEAT THE HEAT IN ALL SITUATIONS

Some do and some don't. Crawl under the vehicle, follow the transmission lines to the radiator, and see if there is an secondary cooler anywhere. If it came with the factory towing package it does.
Why does my 1999 dodge ram transmission get hot?
Is the transmission cooler fins clean and free of debris. Are you towing a heavy load? If so, I recommend you install a aftermarket transmission cooler. If it is getting hot and you are not towing, you need to seek out a professional to find out why it is getting hot. Do not continue to drive this vehicle or you will be spending big bucks for a new transmission. Heat is the biggest enemy of a transmission.

Does a dodge ram 1500 5.7 need a transmission cooler for towing a travel trailer?
If your 1500 ram hemi came with a tow package you already have a transmission cooler. I would compare with others to make sure you have the correct cooler for towing. You can always upgrade to larger coolers but may not be necessary. Some use the 1 ton cooler but that would be seems overkill to me.
What is the towing capacity of a 2001 Honda Odyssey?
Normally towing should not induce any extra wear on your vehicle, in some cases a transmission cooler is recommended to keep the transmission fluid at an appropriate temperature. However, the Honda Odyssey has many recorded problems with the transmission failing early. Some are fortunate enough to have it fail withing warranty, I have a friend who is on his third transmission in under 120k miles. So I would not recomend towing with your Odyssey. Adding extra weight for your van to tow will shorten the life of your transmission even further on this particular vehicle. A quick search on the problems of the transmission on this vehicle, including a class action lawsuit for certain years that extended the warranty.
