Hi, I have a 2003 Focus RS Mk1 which I race and I am upgrading my MTX75 gearbox to fit a Quaife close ratio straight cut dog gear set. While I am doing this I am gong to fit a transmission oil cooler and pump, has anyone done this before? I am okay on how to setup but need your help on where the best location is for the pump feed and return pipes should be located on the bell housing - I am planning to drill and weld in -8 bosses, the feed pipe I am planning to put on top above differential location (under the gearbox mount) and the return pipe has to be under the oil level (as near to bottom of bell housing as possible) - this is my problem, I cannot use the fill location screw hole as it is not below the oil level and I can't locate to close to an existing hole location without the risk of stressing an area.

if anyone has done can you please send me some pictures of boss locations or if they know details of someone who's tcould help me it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for taking time to read post
