Painful, but not excruciating. Hope that's the end of it.

Thanks for the warnings! Just bought me a B&M Supercooler from JEGS, I plan on bypassing my integrated radiator transmission cooler.

Just an FYI: The Long coolers (they make B&M among others) are rugged, but not very efficient. Some reasonably priced high efficiency oil/trans/PS coolers can be found here:

These are basically Setrab knock-offs. Setrab is the best, if you can afford it, but Todd has been running one of the big coolers from CX Racing and it keeps his 4L80E cool under all conditions. It has also held up to vibration and such just fine, although it is only a year old. Still, from a price/efficiency standpoint they seem to be a good value.
