Is the recommended tranny fluid change interval same for you guys as it is with non 1le's? I believe my non 1le interval is 45k miles, will double check tomorrow.
Even if you don't track your car very often (2 times a year ish for me so far), would you expect any noticable increase in life expectancy of tranny/fluid due to cooler?
Has anyone installed the cooler on a non 1le car? If so, is it a simple few part #s and easy to do? I was thinking of doing this because I noticed my shifts always become a bit notchier after heavy driving.
Thanks everyone!

I haven't tracked my V6 1LE yet, just did one autocross with it so far, I will be taking it to a track day in a few weeks however. I plan on observing the trans temps pretty close though. Primarily because the V6 powered 1LEs did not get the trans cooler. They got all the other ones that the SS models have but not the trans cooler. Not sure why but they are some significant differences between the two.
