Unhappy Tranny cooling ideas needed

I have a 10th AE and was looking for a way to cool my tranny because it grinds when it gets heated up. I looked for a trannsmission oil cooler, but all that I find keep saying automatic trannies. Anyone know where to get a manual tranny cooling kit or any other ideas?

Thanks,
Chris

Something is wrong with your transmission, or clutch, or something dealing with your transmission and I don't think cooling it is going to help. Transmissions are supposed to get hot, mine gets plenty hot and doesn't grind.

Try bleeding your clutch. If you have moisture/air it will expand when hot and you won't get full release on your clutch. It also could be a bad master or slave cylinder.

if hydraulics check out, and you've tried a good synthetic gear oil, you have internal transmission problems.

cooling is not the issue
