Re: Trans coolers in winter

If this is because my built in cooler was working too well, then I don't see any point to adding a dedicated cooler until the spring. Anyone else notice this sort of thing?
I've notice the rev change & my mechanic said it was just the TC lock/unlock. I never knew enough to consider it to be caused by the transmission cooler.
