For a little while this happened to me when I went over bumps. Eventually I smelled something burning and I traced the smell to my trunk, then to the battery strap down which was loose. It was touching both the positive terminal and the frame and was arcing. I actually have some frame welded to the tie down now ha ha.

I wonder what the insde and outside temperature difference is, the case on the 6-speeds are decently thick.
Maybe ill throw a trans temp sensor & gauge into my car while its apart. So have we come to a conclusion about trans temps and whats "safe" and what isn't safe?

Someone call AMSoil and ask about MTG. A UOA may tell us if we're killing the oil...anyone care to volunteer since I've paid for so many engine oil analysis?
I wonder what the metals are doing in terms of strength at these temps?

Scrubbing speed in 4th gear over a crest/right hander... with a compromise exit for the "downhill left-left. I picked-up a full second or more in that series of corners...lots and lots for grip and I'm still leaving my skirt on. It was easy to put my car on the dime previously, it takes effort to make the big rubber work.
