    Haven't had the need so far. If someone wanted to donate me one on the other hand...

      My intention is to fit it after the radiator cooler and see how that goes, theory and real world experience might not be the same and I can always change it later if not happy.

      As for the reduced performance of your radiator due to the extra cooler in front, remember that in theory your trans oil going to the radiator will be cooler so you your radiator should have less work to do, so should to some degree balance out the lower efficiency.

        [QUOTE=BlakMoth;492996]We do lots of beach driving so it would presumably be very hot.
        Is WA hotter than SA or not? And what about reduced air flow through the grill because of spotties and winch controller?QUOTE]
        SA gets just as hot as WA, remember - they're on the other side of that great big desert to us. I run the tranny cooler after the radiator for best thermal efficiency. I also have big Hella spotties and winch regulator box in front of the grill and they make diddly squat difference to the airflow. The secret to keeping temperatures lower on the sand (beach) is to drive in lower gears, keep it out of "D", keep your tyre pressures low to suit the conditions. Driving in low range also causes an almost immediate 10 or so degrees drop in water temperature so imagine how better that is for your trans. The theory is to make life easy for your drive train and everything will be fine. Push hard against the sand and the temperatures of both engine and trans will climb. Try it your self next time you venture out onto the beach. Go for a drive in "D" with tyres down. Then try the same in 3 or 4 (you only have a 4 speed yes?). Then drive again in low range. Be kind to your machine.

          I don't drive in D. Normally just putt around in 1st or second High. Use Low if I have to....

              A simple drain and refill could be anywhere from 4 to 8 litres. Bearing in mind that the auto system (including torque convertor) carries about 10 to 11 litres all up, some old fluid will remain in the system. To renew the entire system, it needs to be flushed through with the new fluid. There is reference to this procedure earlier in this thread. I would recommend taking it to an Auto Trans place and possibly having it flushed completely. They should, as part of this service, replace the filter and refill with new fluid, as well as check gear changes, etc. I had this done recently and forked out $440 which included new filter, gasket, fluid and full service and flush. When you take into account the cost of replacing a buggered tranny, it's not too bad an insurance policy. I am not a believer of the 'sealed for life' rubbish. When mine was done, they said the fluid was pretty dark and smelled quite burnt, so I was happy to cough up the $440.

                FWIW...

                Atlantic Oil have a fully synthetic ATF that is WS standard compliant.

                  I bought 20 litres of WS and used most of it. Cost me $220.00 IIRC!

                    Not too bad pricing there. Best I have heard in recent times is about $52 per 4L tin, so that's $44 per tin.

                          Replacing fluid in my 120 is next on the list. I have the 5 speed so WS fluid and no dipstick but good info earlier in the thread about how to do it so comfortable with that. Only question is in regard to the filter. Is it necessary to also replace it in these trannys or is it ok to just do the flush? At $50 ish it seems silly not to do it as well but not much reference to it in earlier posts. Research so far indicates Ryco RTK33 is the one I need.

                            Not putting a new filter in your auto when doing a flush and refill with fresh oil would be like doing an engine oil change and not replacing the oil filter. If you're there doing it, do it right the first time - it will be worth it in the end.

                              Have you seen an auto transmission filter?
