tranny cooler for m6?
can anyone recomend a good transmission cooler for my m6? What do they typically run w/instal costs? I find that my shifting is much smoother when i just start out then after everything is warmed up; I'm hopping the cooler well help.

Wasn't aware they even made one for the M6, or that they generated that much heat?

I've never heard of a transmission cooler for a manual. They really don't generate that much heat in themselves, since there is no slippage taking place inside the trans. All the gears engage directly, therefore there's no friction/heat generated by slippage. I think the main reason they get warm is from the heat of the engine.
I'd say switch to synthetic trans fluid (better lubrication, better heat dissipation, less friction) and perhaps look into lowering your engine temos with a tuner. If you have the engine run around 180-190 degrees instead of 210-230, that should reuce trans temps significantly.

no such thing as a manual trans cooler, just change the fluid

Listen to these idiots as you will but there are coolers made every day for manual transmissions. You will have to add a pump, lines and the heat exchanger. Manual transmissions generally pick up more heat when run on road courses becuse of the added windage. While synthetics can handle elevated temps longer without breaking down, they will do absolutly nothing for a car that has high heat issues.
