Transmission Oil Cooler

Got the details on how to do this from Rob at ScanWest. He has started to install oil coolers on 900's using a bosch fuel pump as a pump and a the automatic tranny oil cooler in the stock position under the bumper.
For my 99, I used a square H motor cooler mounted behind a fmic, bosch pump, earls inline filter and various plumbing parts. It works quite well. My temp gauge went from 100 degrees C. down to 50 degrees C in two minutes.
The trannies get quite warm just with normal driving. At 50 Degrees F. and a light rain, my tranny oil ran at 100 degrees C. on the highway! Since I will be running some track days and hill climbs later this year I want to keep the tranny temps down.
Rob tells me that the only way they could keep from destoying pinion gears was to run tranny coolers on their rally cars. Every temp gauge they had on the trannys would be pegged prior to the coolers.
Will have some pics posted later. Installing one in a 900 would be easier than my experience as there is a good spot under the bumper that is unused.
