Let's discuss control options for the transmission oil cooler:
1. Just on (pump and fan) - too slow warm up. Possible overcooling.
2. Pump and fan controlled by a 185F on/165F off thermal switch tac'ed to xmission casing (current setup) - unfortunately, I can't read the oil temp until this activates due to no circulation when off.
3. pump on all the time; fan controlled by thermostatic switch from (3). Likely no overcooling and simple to setup
4. Like 3, but cycle pump or pump and fan when thermostatic switch off for perhaps 5s of 60s to get enough flow for a reading.
Other?

+1 I've since removed the trans cooler in my SPB but I used to have it on a switch. I would turn it on either on the out lap or sometime during the session depending on ambient temps. I had it on a switch mounted to the shift housing so I just had to drop my hand down to turn it on.
