Was there many issues with the coolant mixing with oil on the 4 speeds? Will the stand alone cooler warm up enough without going through the radiator before driving?

Looking at pwr kits on eBay for around $200, should do the job. Not sure what you mean by v8 one?

I'm thinking of getting one cos I have a suspicion my transmission has over-heated a few times causing the car to go into limp mode. Jus wondering what is influencing your decision?

Installed the f6 cooler today and was going to do auto cooler next week but after seeing how much room there is, might get the mechanic to do it lol Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81740-transmission-cooler-4-speed/#findComment-1291990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
