There are several recurring messages in these articles: good lubricant, overfill of the lubricant and the addition of cooling PTO covers will, at a minimum, give the owner a feeling of satisfaction that they have contributed to the longevity of the manual gearbox.

If you want to add PTO cooling covers to your manual gearbox there is finally* a product that can help, the Geno’s Garage TRANS-COOL Kit.

*There is a long story to the “finally” part of the above statement. The short version: the gentleman that developed the pattern for the coolers wanted to retire. We purchased the pattern and had Mag-Hytec cast and machine the coolers for us.
