Going to replace gearbox sump gasket on my 2l so thought i may as well replace the fluid as well do you ever get any problems with oil cooler being on. I've changed plenty of boxes etc. but none with oil coolers on?
Cheers Vinny

hi there
you can only change about 1/2 of the fluid as the rest stays in the torque convertor. there should be no problem bar it being a bit messy. remember to change the filter at the same time.

You could go to an auto specialist, they use a machine to suck out all the tranny fluid including the torque convertor then you can refill the whole system. they should be in the yellow pages.

The auto box pipes to the cooler are the weak link, watch if they are crusty. If they look iffy you can still get them from ford for around £80 for the set,
the pressure in the pipes and the box is high, so check them as well while you are on

If you cannot get the proper pipes then it is posible to replace with amoured hydraulic pipe and get the clips as well .... Just cut cack to a good section of pipe....
Someone onhere has recently done justthat at a fraction of the cost...

if you do break the pipes, go to Pirtek on the team valley and they will make a set for £12...take the metal end bits along with you and the desired lengths...simple as that...
