I think with the torque I am getting my slushbox is on a suicide watch, I am looking for a good place to slap a cooler in. There's a place here that does really serious automatic performance builds and there's a relatively straightforward set of mods to get the 4n71 to hold 350-400, so that might end up happening.

Trouble with trans coolers is that they don't prevent fluid breakdown, just cool it down so it's at the right viscosity to run the various actuators. If it's getting so hot in the torque converter that it's burning, a cooler won't do any good since it's still that hot from the converter all the way to the cooler. You can make it work if you flush the fluid more often, but it's really a band-aid until the transmission's properly built with an appropriate converter.

Any reason you can't do a manual swap? Supposedly it's pretty easy on the 240s, but obviously the Z is a different car so I don't know if it's the same deal.
