I'm looking to develop a transmission cooler kit for the 2.7L, just seeing if there is a demand out there. The other kits look to be $900 and $1100. Mine would target around $300 and utilize a Hayden 698 cooler with built-in thermostat.

Doesn't seem to be a huge issue with overheating on the 10 speed but my kit would be mostly compatible with the 2.7L Ranger as well. Let me know of any questions or interest.

I tend to steer clear of products designed to a price point, especially if that price is a fraction of it's competition in either direction.

That's a fair point. My goal isn't to build a "cheap" kit, it's to build a more cost-effective kit for the everyday guy. Toyotas have plenty of trans. cooler options in this price range. I know because I've developed and sold them before.

From what I've seen so far, a significant portion of the cost in the existing kits appears to be in the custom radiators and hoses. My thought was to use a proven off-the-shelf cooler (Hayden 698 series) and Gates hoses.
