And yes a transmission fluid cooler is a very good investment on any auto trans car that see hard driving and they are very easy to install.

But again high transmission temps do NOT cause your Vtec to "drop out" or "rev limit lower to 5,500rpm" that is more likely low oil pressure due to cornering or high OIL temperature.
is a engine oil cooler suitable for a auto transmission though?

also, what if the auto box on the transmission and temp sensor, that senses when it gets too hot, then puts the car into limp mode?
always possible.
lol.
