[quote=Tom Wells]Bernie,

I seem to have omitted a few relevant facts, so here goes:

More than a "few" facts omitted Tommy. Looks to me like you're set up pretty well. I didn't realize it was an integreated cooling system. If a Pro Shop with proven credentials can't solve your dilemma, then I am not going to have the magic either. I inquired from my shop:

And they thought that that the converter may be slipping to much and increasing the heat. Lower stall with a quicker lockup would address that issue. You never did say what the fluid temperature was in the trans.

Check your voltage @ the fan motor! I think you need to be getting close to 13 volts AT the fan motor. If you are not, then the Spall rpm's will be down and it will not cool worth a dam. Check with the manufacturer and find out how many volts you need to be getting "AT THE MOTOR". It took a lot of wasted time to figure that out on my setup. My second thought was whether you were recirculating hot air from the engine bay back through the trans cooler and not able to capture any cooling properties. I am struggling for a spot to put an oil cooler so i can appreciate your fight for room. Sorry; I don't have any other suggestions, but it's sumpin to chew on. Good luck with it.

Bernie
