converting car from auto to manual.

 

does manual gearbox use oil cooler? i was wondering because i also wish to get a new radiator for the zed and need to knwo what radiator i need to get.

 

I.E do i need a seperate rad for manual gearbox or use an uprated auto radiator which has built in oil cooler?

 

Jap spec

Looking at the manual box i,ve got to fit i,d say yes but the question i want to ask , would a 10 row Mocal i was using on the autobox be a bit of an over kill on a manual ? sorry for partially hijacking your thread bud :blush:

you wont need a cooler for the box

you wont need a cooler for the box

 

That's what I thought......

 

.....besides isn't manual transmission oil too thick to pass through the pipes and fins of a 'cooler quickly?

 

Richard:1eye:

yep, and there aint no cooler take off's either ;)

UK cars had a Manual gearbox oil cooler as standard.

 

Imports do not.

 

Required? No, not in my opinion.

i didnt think the UK's had them either??

 

i couldnt have come across a UK box yet then :lol:

Uk definitely has oil cooler for box, I bypassed mine 3 years ago and the box has not melted yet.

are you very sure lads that bypassing is safe option ??

well, my jap spec manual box didnt need an oil cooler, unlike my auto UK which does.

i thought it was only autos that had the cooler..? you learn something new every day!

The jdm cars never had oil coolers and dont suffer as a result.Loop the pipes its fine.Ive done it before with no probs.
