Tom -
I don't have any answers, but I do have a question that may be relevant. Which sequence of events do you think happened?
1) Fuse blows, fan stops, temperature of cooler increases, shroud melts, or
2) Cooler temperature increases, shroud melts and obstructs fan, fuse blows.
If it was the first sequence, the solution would seem to involve the electrical system. If it was the second sequence, it would be very useful to know the temperature of the fluid coming out of or going into the transmission. Perhaps, as was mentioned earlier, an aluminum shroud is the answer.
