i got it of a mate for a birthday gift, but they go for $150 as the link.

yeh i mounted it myself, just got some bendy mounting brackets from Bunnings and i was set. i installed jethros too.no more than half a litre at most.

Trans oil should have Thermostat,

as it runs hotter then Engine oils.

so its great putting bigger cooler on but trans runs at about 100 too 110 degs,

if you can find Mazada FD cooler it has built in thermostat ,you may want too look at Filter kits for trans as it will prolong trans oil life.

Chuckie this is exactly what I want. Can you still pick them up new from Mazda? Or do you need to find a second hand unit?

may be NEW but at WHAT COST HATE TO THINK pinch.gif

I got mine 2nd hand,both in good nick too,

i run one on Trans with Filter kit ,

one on Engine oil with remote + stock filter,

has made a big difference to oil colour as before it was not red as it should be,

iam about to do Trans oil sample so i shall post up what i find out,:thumbsup:

any filter will help oil life ,my steering cooler is a big winner as its red still ,before i would change oil in top tank every week & it would be Black.

I had the 6cyl version of the PWR trans cooler (like the one Aaron showed).

Mounted it as you can see below... until I upgraded the intercooler.

I reckon Chuckie's suggestion is pretty good although there have been no ill-effects with a large trans cooler on M35's.

best advice ever chuckie!

and idea on the physical size of that transmission cooler? it appears to have the right fittings etc to plumb it straight in

Been hanging to get mine up2 MVs.. Turbo tune said Its the biggest trans cooler they have seen .. "u could use it as a front mount" lol

Hada get it relocated when I put da FMIC on.. sits drivers side behind the body kit factory holes either side on stock S2 front bar bar.

Had shift problem b4 nistune and tune.. Better then all good now... But Really wnt MVs to have a look at the whole set up and find out what was done!

Cheapest I can find for an RX8 oil cooler - http://www.mazdatrix.com/getprice.asp?partnum=14-700D-N3H1

Thought I'd ask SK about his thoughts on it. His brief response was "There is no such thing as too cold transmission fluid."

I don't know what to believe/think. In Australia does it really get cold enough for this to be a concern?

given I can put my hand on mone and almost get a burn off it - yes it is needed and I do agree with teh above statement. heat kills these things - I have a $4500 bill to prove it.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
