Default Trans/diff coolers.

Is it needed or helpful to run coolers on a manual trans (M 21), or rear diff(Frankland), if so do you use pumps?
Considering...

any track car can benefit, especially if your sessions are longer than 15minutes.

Electric Pumps, coolers etc can be purchased from a company like HRP (hoerr racing). Mechanical (dry sump style) can be setup, as in stock cars, but a lot of plumbing involved.

There is a sheet on my website documenting the fittings you need for a C5. I imagine most of yours are standard NPT fittings.

Considering putting them on my street machine. Racer Parts Wholesale has the Mocal pumps and oil thermostats...

Part of the question is, I was "told" that I do not need a cooler on a manual trans, only for automatics. It does not seem overly complicated or expensive if needed.
Thanks
