tranny cooler fan - on all the time going to be installing my transcooller soon, i have a fan for it but dont have a thermostat to turn it on as im cheap.
is it ok to run the fan all the time cooling the transfluid more when it might not need it?
any problems with the trans temp getting to cool?

If it's a little muffin fan then a thermostat from Digi-Key
like P/N 317-1019-ND would set you back a whole $8.12;
if it's more than an amp draw you'd need a relay too.
If fluid is -too- cool then you might not see lockup.
