If it starts to become a problem, i'll for sure look at Andy's kit.

I dont know what part of Arkansas you live in rather than what your name says. I have a Camaro with an A6 automatic. Back in April I went up to Eureka springs AR and ran through the Mountains in Mena ( Beautiful to say the least and a workout for sure on my car )
With the altitude and the air my car never ran anything cooler than above 180 and the whole time I was in Arkansas I didnt like where the car ran temp wise especially when it rained as soon as I got back to Texas it got back around normals temps.
a Trans cooler is cheap insurance for an A6 automatic. The #1 thing that is bad for the A6 is heat. why not spend a few $$$$$$ and save yourself from a Big investment ? With the Humidity and heat we have down south HEAT is bad on on these trannys. nothing Sucks more than having to settle down on driving as I had to up in the mountains of Mena because the Tranny is heating up.
