If the block heater puts to much heat on the transmission fluid and scorches it then I can put a power diode in line with the AC power going to the block heater and just feed it half wave rectified DC effectively cutting its power in half.
I really don't think 200w over that much surface area will cook the fluid.
So I know one way or another I can get the block heater to not cook transmission fluid.
All I have to do is find some one who can weld aluminum. Fluid tight joints on aluminum is about the only kind of welding I don't do.
