Ya, there's obvious value in results. We can theorize until blue in the face but if it works, it works.

My concern is that in my case, my 6AT has very likely suffered glazing of the clutches. Whether that's from heat alone or a combination of heat/lack of TCU control/load etc is largely irrelevant, the damage is done. So in my case a fluid cooler is highly unlikely to fix anything. I've gone out on cold nights and done a single 3rd gear pull; at no point do fluid temps exceed 200F. It still slips, which suggests that heat isn't the primary culprit (in my case).
