help gearbox cooler

  •

Can anyone help me sort out where to fit my secondry gearbox cooler??

I have brought a 2nd hand uk engine oil cooler which i fit somewhere & connect to cool the engine(as it is larger than my import one).

The redundant engine oil cooler then gets connected to the gearbox (doing away with the crap radiator one)?

That way you upgrade both coolers which make sense!

But where the fock do you fit this bigger one???

I could do with some advice as it is driving me rounnd the

benddddddddddddd!!:confused:

    I upgraded mine with a kit from the Z Centre. This came with a mounting plate whereby the uprated engine oil cooler was bolted in the same place as the cooler it was replacing and the old oil cooler (or new gearbox cooler! Which ever way you look at it!) was bolted right in front of the larger oil cooler - if you see what I'm saying! Got to admit, it wasn't quite as straightforward as that as the new mounting plate and old oil cooler needed a bit of attention from my pals mr. mallet (no, definitely NOT Timmy!) and mr. hacksaw before everything fitted properly! Basically, you'll need to get hold of/make up a new mounting plate and fit the uprated gearbox cooler in front of the oil one!

    Many thanks

    I can see what you are on about, it goes in front of other oil cooler,sounds like i am going to leave it as it seems to hard for me to do & no local garages/mechanics wont touch it!

    shame though just have to hope it dont overheat.

    thanks again for help;)
