***Transaxle Cooler Now Available***

Thanks for everyone who responded so positively to the pre-announcement of the custom GT Transaxle Cooler. I am very happy to say that the cooler is now available for ordering. I have several units shipping out early next week and a few additional units are available. I also have another quantity of kits that will be completed following this initial batch. In summary, I've tried real hard to balance the availability of units with the interest demonstrated by my fellow GT owners to minimize the time between ordering and receiving your kit. (This is always a real trick - especially in niche markets, like GT parts.)

I'd like to think that with the quality of components, performance, appearance, and packaging, I've supplied a great product to the GT community at a reasonable price. The custom kit that I'm offering has an aggressive price point and can also save you significantly on installation costs. Whether you do the installation yourself or you pay someone to do it for you, my kit does not require you to lift the car or remove the bottom pans, which saves time and potential damage to your GT.

If you're in the Southern California area, or can be, I can do the installation myself for the pleasure of meeting you. Takes me about an hour.

Thanks all, & Stay Cool!

No worries, G., thanks for the positive comments. I'm sure you'll be happy with the Ford cooler and it will do the job. I am, however, going to expect your business on all of your future GT acquisitions. You know, I'm beginning to worry that us single GT owners are becoming a minority! I'd like a second one too - I just need to sell about a 1,000 more coolers!

Allen, thanks for your order!
Jim, I replied to your PM.... and I assume you won't be using your ATM? :lol

George,

As I suspected, both of your GTs look absolutely stunning - as I knew they would. The Cool Tech Transaxle Coolers are a complement to the engine bay but, most importantly, they are very functional. It was a pleasure to see you again (after 10 years!), and it was a pleasure to meet Dennis and to see one of the very few all-yellow GTs. Dennis - we'll hook up soon to get your cooler installed. Thanks guys for believing in me and the product!

For those that have inquired about the black AN fittings, here's a set installed on Paul's car.

Thank-you Tim, and thanks for the tips on the instructions. Regardless of how hard we've tried to have robust instructions, there's always room for improvement! Your tips as well as those from others have gone out as an addendum to all those who purchased coolers to date. A newly revised, updated instruction sheet has been created accordingly and is incorporated in all new shipments.

It's very rewarding to see the popularity of the kit and to get the chance to meet, albeit virtually, other GT owners.

Thanks again for the feedback!

As Chris points out, there's a pump internal to the transaxle. Without a transaxle cooler, the transaxle is simply pumping fluid through the short 10" flex hose (early '05 cars have a hard tube instead of the flex line). Note that the pump is driven off of the main shaft of the transaxle and is only pumping oil through the cooler when the rear wheels are moving.

Are you sure about that?

Yeah Chris, I'm sure. The transaxle must be turning for the pump to work. Yours must have been low and, more importantly, is likely low now because you haven't filled it (I assume) after it has had a chance to fill the cooler.
