Got my new transmission oil cooler kit
My old cooler was in very bad shape. New one is quite expensive and i also wanted something else. After a planning session with my friend, he fabricated a new cooler kit for me. Here's how it turned out

were will you mount the new cooler?
I am interested in the adapters - what AN size are they?
Are you sure they are AN?
Any pressure issues pumping oil through a rad rather than just the loop ?

anyone been taking temps back there ??
i just wonder why they dropped the cooler for the 968.
i was thinking of getting rid of the spare wheel well and bit of a scoop to get some air up around the trans

"Do the non cooled 944 transmissions have the holes for the fittings? Would this be a possible way (with an external pump) to cool a non-cooled transmission? "
^^^^^^^^^
I belive the real issue is there is a small gear driven pump in the cooled trans that is used to move the coolan through the loop. With out this pump simply adding a cooler to a non cooled trans, even if the fittings are there, is a wast of time. I have seen some pump/loop kits for sale used here or on Pelican. If you do a search I am sure you can see all the parts I am talking about.
As to the cooler for this thread, very very cool-pardon the pun!!! What kind of cost did you end up with on the final kit?

In most cases adding this (my kit) to no-cooled transmission is not wise. Tonyg did it proper way, here's the URL https://rennlist.com/forums/944-turb...ns-cooler.html.
Since i have a cooled/lsd special Switzerland only S2 trans for my 951, it was way to go. My oem cooler was in very bad shap and i didn't want to invest almost $700 to a new one. All used ones i have seen have been in poor shape as well. This was a cost effective way to go.

I was thinking that one could use the drain and fill plugs to connect to the external oil cooler. The cooler would need a pump, and thermostat and cooling fans. This type of setup can be purchased from places like summit for a couple of hundred dollars.

Olli, I'm curious why you'd point to the thread about TonyG's trans cooler as an example of the downside of this. I didn't see anything bad there.
