Fan on factory trans cooler

Does the factory cooler have a fan?
And if not has anybody added one?
I looked up the brand on the ams transmission cooler and they make 10 inch fans that are about $40
Thanks for any help

The SST does comes with a cooler, but it is pretty anemic compared to aftermarket ones.

Fans have shown to help it, along with removing the fog light(s). I am sure the oil cooler could benefit from the same treatment. Although for heavy track use, there is no substitute for the SSP kit, that allows the trans to be cooled between sessions.

Hi!
Can you explain me how to set the right way to start the fan?
You need a temperature sensor, and it's ok, but how can you do to start the fan under a certain speed and how can you stop it, above another one?
