The issue is TP Tremecs come with an internal mechanically driven oil pump so to add a cooler to a non TP will require an electric pump. For Ford to do it they have to source the TP cooler assembly from Ford, redesign all the lines, incorporate a pump with associated wiring, test it, package it in the car away from heat etc, write up a set of instructions that includes a new fill and drain procedure. There is a lot to it.
Red Circle is the oil pump assembly in the TP Tremecs. If it is an issue on the street that would be a problem for Ford. The best best then would be to just install the TP trans with the lines and cooler. No much info on the Tremec but the nonTP models may be able to be field retro-fitted with the pump at the dealer. The reality is they do not need to make the car new, just repair the issue. Ford is only obligated to fix the problem if it becomes a safety concern on the street. The dealers ordering non-TP cars was stupd in the first place, Ford saw that and took that mess away.
We are working on a rear axle cooler kit for the standard Mustangs but due to the aero in the rear of the Shelby I don't believe it will fit.
