Default factory transmission cooler fan???

are there any small fans that would work well on the factory style tranny coolers?
been looking at some off 4 wheelers.. but they still look a lil big.
non of the standard tranny cooler fans will seem to work. too large as well.
was thinking about 2 small fans from radio shack setup as a pair.
gotta help with tranny temps.
not like its getting hotter than normal, but would be nice to make it run as cool as possible.
any ideas, shoot um this way.

it might be cheaper and easier to swap out the stock cooler for a bigger cooler, and all the plumbing is already there for ya.

swapping tranny coolers won't void the warranty. hell, it will help prolong the life of the tranny.

One idea is to not even attempt to put "radio shack" fans in your truck to cool something like a radiator. They are not designed for a harsh environment like a car/truck. The CFM is way low, they probably are not designed for the heat, and overall are a bad choice.

An additional tranny cooler should not void your drivetrain warranty, providing you install it right, and maintain your transmission via fregular fluid flushes, and hiding your other more significant mods.
