try a search on towing / overheating transmission, i reckon you needs an oil cooler

im hopin the oil cooler is not needed as the temp gauge drops i thought if auto box was overheating everthing would just get hotter

yours is doing exactly the same as mine...
every one says fit an oil cooler!
i tried converting the aircon rad, and failed. so im off towing till i can work up some enthusiasm for spending some hard earned..
if you discover anything else, do be sure to post it.. (but only if its a cheap fix!)

I have fitted quite a big oil cooler and it did get hot once on a 2 mile hill (not towing much weight but lots of drag) so i am not sure whats up unless i gave it too much welly on the hill? I WAS DOING 30MPH!!!
