If you've read that it's probably Alacrity that said it, he's a gearbox specialist & should be able to supply & maybe fit you for a good price, worth pming him.

Without going into details here again, I have been fitting extra oil coolers to any vehicle towing anything sizable or heavy for 30 odd years & not had anything but good results. There are some on this forum that don't agree it is necessary or that they should have a thermostat in the oil line. I can only speak as I (& the transmission industry here & in the USA) find. If you tow anything of consequence FIT A COOLER, they are around £100.00 inc. vat & delivery (depending on size required) & are one hell of a lot cheaper than a transmission rebuild. My Bongo is used as a tow car & has one fitted, & they are not difficult to do. Remember, heat is the auto tranny's biggest enemy. Send me a PM if you want to talk sizes & prices etc. Geoff
