Trans cooler
I have an 09 C6 A6 with an RPM 3.42 rear. Wondering what the best way to add a trans or trans/rear cooler. I am running about 110F over ambient. Would like to stay below 200F on hot MD days.
So please help, what options do I have. Seems like some OEM configurations Z51? Z06? have coolers, might be a safe way to go.

I'm getting an aux tranny cooler soon.
Mine's an A6 with 3.15's and a 2800 stall and My tranny temps get into the 230's sometimes!
What do You all think of a "larger" tranny oil pan as well?

Mine's an A4 with 3.73. I was seeing 240° and up. Added a trans cooler and now I normally don't see anything above 200° unless I sit in traffic a while on a hot summer day. Then it can still get to 215° which is well within limits.
