The issue is to transform hot water in hot oil on a gearbox that didn't started life with an oil cooler ...

Even then, the control of the heat and additionnal way of getting rid of it when you need to avoid it calls for quite some work ...

I would try to fit an oil cooler first then insulate the gearbox.

Bringing extra heat is step 3 as far as investment goes ...
