If you're super worried about heat, throw a second cooler at it but seriously, more trouble than it's worth. Stick with the replacement option Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91468-zf-6-speed-best-external-trans-cooler/#findComment-1573245 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've since found an issue with the car that accounts for the cooler failure but had aleardy bought/installed the Derale in the time it took PWR to examine/respond hence the spare unit. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91468-zf-6-speed-best-external-trans-cooler/#findComment-1573249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
