I don't care what people say, the cast Aluminum trans pan with the internal
and external fins do work very well. People have reported noticeable
difference in temperature.
Lso the Final driver cast aluminum cover does work to also keep the trans
cooler as it is connected to the trans.
At one time I felt the final drive aluminum cover was not a functional
item, but several people explained that the final drive can run 300 degrees
so reducing the temperature there does influence trans temp. So take it for
what you feel makes sense.
