You installed a 1.5 kit without a cooler? Naughty naughty... I thought they were (almost) mandatory when upgrading the box. Hell, I had one on my auto even before shift kitting it.

i would install a cooler no matter what.
secondly i think the heat has a lot to do with the upgraded exhaust that passes beside the auto box.from the factory i beleive the std tt exhaust is heatshielded.maybe wrapping that part of the piping might help reduce temps in that area. i have allways thaught about this as the exhaust pipe side seems hotter than the passeneger side.. time for some temp testing i think.have to get my "probe" around that area..

Everyone knows that a cooler is going to help in all situations but AFAIK having a shift kit just increases the shift time and in that time there is less heat build up. So I would have thought theoretically that having a shift kit should help with the clutch's not getting as hot as a long slow shift.
Doesn't really matter either way as I already have 2 coolers :P
