Endurance Racing - AT Transmission???

Has anyone had any luck with extended sessions using an AT trans?

2017 GT86 that we are looking to sprint race, or run 2hr intervals.

Looking for suggestions and feedback from anyone else that might have had success?

Thanks!

Local race team runs a few auto 86s, they do quite well with endurance stuff.

Probably want a transmission fluid cooler.


The AT fluid overheats and degrades quickly - the factory heat exchanger probably is not sufficient
