how to install transmission cooler on manual transmission

I still think the idea is sound, looking back. The oil still heated up significantly after only a few minutes. First we did the 'dry sump' to a small reservoir and heat exchanger (an OEM MGB oil cooler). I cannot address your problems from here, but I can tell you some of the 'cures' we attempted in out Lotus gearbox for endurance racing, specifically the 'Seis Horas de la Ciudad de Mexico' in 1973. RE: Remote oil cooler on manual transmission MikeHalloran (Mechanical) 17 Mar 09 20:03 Thanks in advance for any advice, as long as it's not 'use a better gearbox' because I'm hoping to keep the car original. I've found very scant information on the web and I've tried the search facility here with no success. Has anyone here relevant experience of this type of project and what are the pitfalls, if any? I intend to use a thermostatic switch to control the pump. I have sourced the cooler and gear driven pump. I now wish to fit a small oil cooler to the gearbox using an electric pump. To give you some idea of the pressure we put our little cars under, our team came 5th out of 26 teams involved and we beat a team driving a pair of 6 litre, 500 bhp cars one a Cobra Replica and the other a Lola T70 replica. The car eventually suffered a bad gear downchange (not me driving) which broke some teeth off the layshaft. At Mallory Park racetrack during an endurance event the oil badly overheated and the gearchange became more tricky. I have a small car (a Liege) which uses an 850 cc engine and a small 4 speed gearbox, the latter 'not being known for its reliability'.
