Gearbox cooling

[alexk]

Is anyone running a gearbox cooler ? (apart from Mr Gorilla)

The SMG II gearbox has a temp sensor.
Has anyone used this sensor to get the temp data ?

I'd be interested to know too. Perhaps gorilla would be able to show some photos of his system. It is something I may consider doing to mine now that is has had a brand new gearbox.

Yes, I was running a gearbox cooler and mocal pump.

What about the temp sensor Nathan ?
I think Mr Gorilla is running extra temp sensor.

I didn't tap the existing sensor, long time ago now, may have grabbed the value of the CAN bus, will see if I can dig out some data and work backwards from there.

SMG box is gone now so can't even tell you where the oil lines were connected, sorry!
