Thanks. I don't have it in my hands, but I can go to a shop and try it for
size. May be I should add a gauge before adding the cooler to see how hot
it actually does get. If it is excessive, then get the cooler.

Thanks.

I like the B&M unit as well. I don't do serious off-roading (yet), but
because of sand and clay tracks the engine and tranny do get a serious work
out. In winter it only get around 4 or 5C at night, it never snows in
Auckland (New Zealand). I do like the idea of putting a thermal bypass
valve.... another thing on the wish list.

I had a look on the www.4wd.com for the coolers as I need the supplier to
be able to ship it internationally. I'll check with Summit Racing if they
can ship it internationally.

Thanks for your comments, they are much appreciated.

Engine temperature is what determines if a transmission cooler is
necessary. If the engine over heats while pulling a trailer up hill, and
you must stop to prevent damage, then put a transmission cooler radiator
before the engine radiator. Then you do not risk running the
transmission too cool under normal operating conditions.

Thanks Bill. So that set-up would be from transmission out to the
auxiliary cooler (cooling the oil considerably), then to the cooler under
radiator (making it a little warmer) and then back to the transmission. I
have not had a case of engine overheating so far even on a very hot day, so
the transmission should be safe. I guess I was just trying to take some
preventive action.

I am not towing anything, but we do have long and winding hilly roads just
about wherever we drive on road in New Zealand. Off road, I have been more
exposed to sand and mud lately. Its an interesting experience after a week
or so of constant rain.
