get a transmission cooler for sure, that will help greatly. power steering sure add another cooler too for it if you can. the cooler you keep everything the better.

Autocross gets the planetaties very hot, go with a better fluid such as Lubrication Engineers Monolec 7500 that will not thin out as easy as Dexron fluids will. Run this oil straight. I have seen a couple of laps take out this transmission with stock type oils. Always run a large external cooler.
