I don't have either but it would help the life and strength of your transmission after doing this and adding a trans oil cooler.

I guess you could but I dont see just bolt ons taking your trans to the slippage point. But im sure it could still make you shifts better and faster

Firmer Shifts, but don't get a Trans Cooler right away, it can actually damage your Transmission, because it can drop the temp lower than the normal operating temp, unless you drive fast and hard, then go for it.
I wouldn't do the Valve Body, because you're not gonna' need it.. PLUS, why Void your Warranty? If your Trans fails, then just take it in, and its covered.

A transmission cooler will not damage your transmission it is better for it to run cooler. It will not cause the temp to run at such a low temp like you are thinking. OEM transmission isn't built well on the tC's and the life of the transmission will be extended.

Yeah I dont see a cooler being a problem. The thing still got hot when I had one on mine. I needed a bigger better coooler!

Yeah, what I want to do is get a Trans Temp Gauge and monitor the Temperature Stock, then get a Cooler and see how it performs. Probably next month or so.

Also, B&M makes a Cooler that has a Fan attached to it that turns on at 160 Degrees.
