    Abstract: A gearbox system includes a gearbox having a housing. The housing includes a surface. The gearbox system also includes an add-on cooling fin panel in thermal engagement with the surface. The cooling fin panel includes a plurality of cooling fins. The gearbox system further includes an attachment feature constructed to affix the cooling fin panel to the gearbox. The cooling fin panel is constructed to transfer heat from the surface to the cooling fin panel by conduction; and the cooling fin panel is configured to transfer heat to an environment in which the gearbox is located by convection.

    Abstract: A transmission includes a housing, a plurality of components, and a cooling system. The housing has a plurality of walls that cooperate to define an interior space and a sump configured to store lubricating fluid in use of the transmission. The plurality of components are arranged in the interior space and configured to cooperatively transmit rotational power between an input shaft and an output shaft of the transmission to reduce a rotational speed of the output shaft relative to a rotational speed of the input shaft in use of the transmission. At least one of the plurality of components is supplied with lubricating fluid stored by the sump in use of the transmission. The cooling system is supported by the housing.
