Default Is a tranny cooler worth it if i am only keeping the car for another 10k?

I am going on a 2000 mile road rally this summer and just wondered if it is worth it to have a trans cooler installed? I leased the car and i will prob get rid of it around october-november. But I dont want to blow the tranny up again from overheating it and they wont warranty it again.... I did a rally last year where the road was blocked off...we were sitting at 5000 rpm in 4th gear for like 5 minutes. I know the tranny didn't like that as it went about 500 miles after that.

Do the lines tend to blow off on these things or anything? That would suck too. lol. Just wondering if anybody has an opinion. Thanks! The car is bone stock btw other than exhaust and intake and a predator tune.

It is cheap insurance; easy to install and the lines won't come off if you do it correctly.
