I'll tell you what gear you get, neutral with a side of something probably f**king up in the trans. Dan clearly stated not to let the gears cross bleed or bad stuff happens. Hopefully I've spared my trans from an early death.That's a relief! Was hoping it wasn't something wrong with Dan's RMVB. Going to double check the microswitch I put in my shifter and make sure something similar doesn't happen to me. So, what gear do you get if the OD is engaged when the lever is in 2nd? OD...or something else?
It's also very interesting to see Dan's recommendation on where an aux. tranny cooler should be located. I always thought it should go in the line to the radiator so, if it cools the tranny fluid too much, there's always the radiator to warm the fluid up a bit. Maybe being too cool is not nearly as bad as being too hot.
As to the trans cooler, there is at least one thread out right now discussing just this. I was always told the external goes after the radiator to further cool the fluid. I'm sure there's most likely not really a best answer to this and it depends on the situation. I could always do both by using a lateral cooler along the frame as the fluid leaves the trans.
