How do tranny coolers work on a ZF?
I am looking into getting a tranny and engine cooler combo. How would it cool a ZF 6 speed? Do I have to put a pump in the lines to get it out of the transmission or do I use the drain plug as the outlet and let it go back in the inlet?

Never heard of one on a stock Manual Trans. I know Race Cars might have one. You really don't need a cooler on a ZF though.An Automatic would definatly be a good idea to have one..Also,how would pump the Oil around?
Just my 2 Cents.

the zf works, but it's really only necessary if you plan on doing endurance racing.
manual transmission don't heat up as much as an auto
