Transmission failure from coolant

Recently bought a 2005 frontier SE 4x4 6spd, so far been very happy with it. But i have been reading around and I am worried about transmission failure from coolant getting into transmission fluid. Everything i have read has referred to automatic transmissions, and i havent seen any mention either way about manual transmissions. Not sure if i should be worried and working on some fix, or enjoying my frontier. Thanks

edit:
Just found this: http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=25955 so i assume that applies to the frontier 6spd manual as well and they are not at risk of this contamination

I just hit 76,000 miles and decided it's time to do the bypass and not push my luck any more.
My truck has had every other failure that recalls and extended warranties had been issued for so I figure it's only a matter of time before the trans/rad issue hits.

I was wondering if anyone who has done this bypass and plugged the bottom radiator holes, have they periodically checked to see if the trans cooler in the radiator has finally failed?
