That was my thought too, so if you removed the tape, then see what the temps are, maybe there is more to the insulated tape than is thought.

There is another reason too, all the heat from the radiator gets channeled over the engine and then get to leave the engine compartment. This air gets hot from the engine and blows back onto the tranny. I think the tranny warms up some from teh hot engine air. Take off the "under cover" and what happens? The air through the radiator goes up, the tranny cooler gets more cool air and less hot air makes it to the tranny. As Mike said dust is a problem. How about water? Riding in the rain and through puddles must run some tire splash into the engine bottom also. How about trying an air dam at the back of the under cover? This should create a pressure drop that will pull more air through the coolers up front.
