small job to install. You have to pull the transmission to install it. If
you're up for it, I'll send it out to you if you give me an address.

doing these installs one at a time and testing how each one affects the

pan had any effect before you installed the maxikool, and then, what effect
the better cooler had on it. Are you running a synthetic oil (which I
understand to run somewhat cooler and to be better able to handle the
higher temperatures.
Good luck.
