Default 4.10 Question

In the very near furture I'm finally having the 4.10's installed (bought them online, being sent to my door as we speak) What I want to know is if I should buy an aftermarket tranny cooler because of the added RPM's and my rears gifted ability to cause the rpms to rise faster haha :P. Basically do gears cause any added levels of damage on drivetrain parts that a cooler would help prevent? Thx ahead of time for looking into my post. Can't wait to get those **** 2.73's outta her muah hahahahaha...

A trans cooler is never a bad idea.... gears or no gears.

Just think about it this way.... you are going to beat on your car 10x's more now that you have gears so your trans is going to be running hotter all the time. Transcooler FTW!

id go ahead and do it. a finned tranny pan is never a bad idea either, to let the air cool the fluid more. made a big diffrence on my trans, dropped it like 20 degrees.

yes i would get a cooler. you can get them on ebay all day long. make sure you route it through your radiatorheat exchangeras well. this will help it warm up on cold days.
