Default Ways to cool the automatic.

I saw 225F trans temps today and it wasnt summer heat yet.

What are streetable options. I have a cooler, but they dont do alot hotlapping at the strip.

bigger pan without making the car a speed bump road hazard? which?

better fluid?

Fan on trans cooler (mustang guys do this).

I find the A4 sucks when Transcoolant temps get high, so what do you do?

I think a tranny cooler fan would be cheap and easy. I have thought about it.

yah i must research a weatherproof fan that will hold up and provide enough cfm.

maybe tap the rail voltage on the other fans. nothing monster.
