Manual Trans Oil Cooler

smell is coming from the trans tube, i think it was overfilled. Nonetheless, i think a diff cooler is a good idea

The diff does run hot. If you have the oem vlsd. After it gets hot. The silicone breaks down and the vlsd gives up the ghost.

Nah....the vlsd no longer works right until it cools back down. If too many hot cycles. It just quits. Mine would work ok for the first 10 minutes or so of a session, then slowly quit working like a vlsd. Toward the end of it's life. It would quit after about 5 minutes and wouldn't come back until the next day. That's when I installed the OS Giken LSD.
