    Gear Box cooler

    I am currently looking at a ATF cooler and seeing what i can get through work.
    currently trying to get a selection that Kieren recomended from here
    PDF cat
    EBAY
    EBAY 2

    But as these have the possibility of over cooling the oil or increasing warm up time. If a temperature stat is not used.
    I have thought about an oil to water cooler.(Self contained cooler)HERE As this will help warm up the oil quicker and will stabilise the temperature at about 90deg C possible a bit higher.
    Doing this will mean i dont need an temp stat.
    This could be for both Engine and gearbox.
    basically will this idea work the only reason i can think of is will it over stress the cooling system of lack of space

    You only need a ATF cooler, if you drive your car hard enough to overheat it

    Currently looking at free stuff I can get though work or have currently at work.(Ally Gear Knob Next week and any thing else )
    Was thinking that having the cooler running with the water system it would stabilize rather than a cold shock possibility.
