alias23 Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 The actual improvement to the gear shift can only be achieved by a retro fit of the 350 Sport+ gear shift. I think you have a 350 already so you have the shifter, the gearbox cooler would be a complimentary items to help manage those track day conditions and longevity of your gearbox. My gearbox cooler is located under the car (vent in under tray) I was worried about the design being prone to damage and unfortunately mine did fail and required a replacement. The replacement came with additional mesh and shielding which has proved a good enhancement to the design. That said if I was to do it again, especially with enlarged side scoops, I'd be going with a solution which housed the cooler in the actual side vent which I think would be slightly safer and create more airflow for cooling. Another alternative is to forget all coolers and go with a Laminova setup. Quote www.alias23.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the failure come from a reliability issue or was it damaged by a stone? Did you mount a gauge to monitor the temperature and confirm this kit brings a significant improvement? Thanks!

As a potential customer I am looking for reviews from customers not from the company who sell the product. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFWilliams Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Having seen the installation in Imran’s car, I decided the Komo-tec cooler was the better route. It seemed much better quality too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
