Default Operating temperature for T56... (Cooling system?)

I was told from a buddy, now don't quote me on this, that he had a trans cooler rigged to his T56.. What is the normal operating temperature for the 6 speed and is it worth getting a cooling system for it? I'm talking about for a canyon carver/Auto X car..

Just an idea... It's not like there's a lot of slippage in the manual enough to cause a heat issue like in an A4....

I was thinking of the supply line being from the drain plug, to a pump then to a cooler mounted in front of the radiator, then the return line going into the fill plug on the trans.

Your car is not extreme enough to require something like that. It has been done, but it's just added weight for a street car.

Hmm.... Yeah.. I just thought I'd check. My buddy told me about his friend doing it on his WS.6 TA.

I know my trans gets warm, but not hot enough to require a cooler.
