Manually dropping to third on the auto is beneficial on hills as the torque converter locks up rather than slipping in fourth. It also stops the box hunting up and down under certain conditions.

the e36 V.fan. Datatek was right it's not the same - slightly smaller and considerably lighter. I fitted it all the same out of curiosity but something's not right seems to be locked up all the time. I think clutch may be opposite direction of rotation? Piece of wood won't stop it even from cold startup and it roars constantly increasing roar with acceleration.
Going to leave it on for a bit to see what it is like on a long run
If it's locked, you risk it disintegrating, blades throwing off possibly causing serious damage@brianp38dse

Good point as I have already destroyed a new rad by sticking a viscous through it before Xmas cost me £200 put right and no transport over holidays.
Yet what is life without a little risk?
