Title: M32 gearbox oil cooler
Post by: falconzappa on August 28, 2017, 07:21:07 PM
Hi all,

Can anyone recommend on a good quality gearbox oil cooler Kit for M32? (Not oil breather).

Thanks

How will you circulate the oil?  Tap into a drain plug for a tee, or add a new oil port, either way then use a small generic diaphragm pump with thermostatic switch and stacked plate oil cooler?

I presume you could modify a breather riser for return of oil. Making it look not Heath Robinson, would be the real challenge!

Had a read up on these boxes and the bearing failures, got to wonder is there a modern tranny (manual or auto) that isn't rubbish? The BMW/Getrag box that requires a sneaky tap-and-twist routine to allow the main housing to be lifted off, is a favourite case in point...
