Just a little update to keep everyone in the mix as to what's happening...

B&M Short Throw shifter- Still working brilliantly! It appears to have lost the reverse lockout function though. You can just shift into reverse without having to first push down on the stick. For me, I could give a crap about this function and it hasn't affected me during even hard driving with 5th or 6th gear shift at speed. But, it is an FYI.

Technosquare oil cooling unit - The oil cooler works absolutely as it should and I have yet to see the oil temp get over 220. Yesterday I drove it quite a bit in some pretty warm outside temps. Both stop and go and freeway driving and the hottest it reached was just a smidge above the 220 mark. If I had to guess, I would call it 222 or something.

As far as the seating of the unit, it hasn't moved or bent the bracket at all. There appears to be no sign of any kind of metal fatigue or anything like that.

I will keep you updated with everything else as time goes...
