The other thing I'm thinking of, why not route the air intake to behind the rad where the tranny oil cooler is? The steady flow of air would cool the rad so it stays cooler, you also get a warm air intake which diesels supposed to love
You don't get any engine breaking with a manual tranny in neutral
