How does a factory MCI 9, say, with 6V92TA and HT740 cool the transmission?  is there a separate tranny cooler, or does it use the factory radiators somehow?  A pic would be nice, if possible.

If you're interested in a 40-footer, a late member of our bus nuts chapter has put a 102 wide 1988 MCI up for sale. Is fully converted with beautiful interior, an 8V92 engine with 4 speed Allison.
       A fine bus, and it will go for a song. If you want more information contact me with a private message.
