Re: transmission cooling questions

First trial installation of the external cooler + fan.

I made a bracket/shroud for the puller fan. There were two square holes behind the battery tray - I just pushed plastic nuts in these and use 5mm bolts for the upper stay. Drilled a few holes for the lower mounting. I may have to reinforce the upper bracket a bit - it does flex a little, just to make sure it won't fracture due to fatigue.

The location is a bit risky from winter driving point of view - if I hit a hard snow bank the plastic bumper will give in and may foul with the cooler.

I also bought a separate thermostatic bypass valve for fast warm ups and winter cruising.

The fan will be controlled by a temp gauge with a programmable output for a relay.

These are the parts I bought so far (Summit):
