Question

Doesn't most of the heat generated in an automatic tranny come from the torque converter?
I don't think that the heat generated from gear contact would be significant, at least not a danger to the tranny.

Another thought on conventional ATF: I'm not ragging them, they're probably fine for 90% of the vehicles out there. For a "cooling-challenged" car like the SVX, it seems silly not to use a fluid that can handle temp spikes better.
