I run the mountains every week end as duty allows and that is a lot of stress on the motor. My desire to set the temperature switch to 10 degrees lower is because I stress my motor racing around at 11,000 feet. Yes my under tray is intact and I am going to change it to this( see attachment) type for cooling the transmission oil during my runs up and down the mountain. On a typical 95 degree day the car gets really hot and I don't want to wait for the tow truck yea!. Thanks for the input man.
I misread the initial post, my bad. So the car is an auto then? I havent done measurements on the location your talking about moving it to, but it seems like it would be to narrow for a non v-style mount. If you go through with it please take pictures, I would love to see it.
