tranny cooler

Ok quick stupid question.. I have a 90 F250 351w 5speed.. Now I have a good tranny cooler and lines hanging on my wall.. Would my tuck benifit from installing it.. If yes were would I attach the lines.. This truck is mainly a tow/hauler rig so I would like to combat heat as much as possible..

thanks Jim

If the 5 speed is a standard it is virtually impossible to install a cooler.

Manual trannies dont have a pump to circulate fluid. You could tap some holes in one of the covers and use some kind of universal electric pump outside of the tranny to circulate the fluid through a cooler. I plan to tap the cover to mount a temp gauge probe. I already have a temp gauge in my dash from when it was an auto, so I may as well use it.
