I replied after reading the thread but I finally watched the video. I like the presentation and editing. Looks like you're either shooting for a future in auto journalism or are just pretty natural at it. Good work nonetheless.

I'm gonna stay tuned about the trans temp. In the Honda world when we've stepped up to 9k rpm engines we've noticed that some of the H and B series transmissions would see 300+ degree tranny oil temps and that is something that needs to be addressed on any car that's going to be beaten on for more than 30 minutes. A fellow racer is addressing this very issue and is installing a manual transmission oil cooler setup for a highly strung B-series enduro race car.

Since you're in the habit of sending oil to the lab, I'd be very curious if you have any desire to run something besides Pentosin in your tranny for the type of use your car sees?
