no the tranny was in d4 the whole time. the tranny tried to shift it self. DO NOT get it flushed. if u do all the particles will be disturbed and cause hard parts like gears and syncro's to go out. just change the fluid. the cooler keeps the fluid from reaching its burning point. when it gets too hot it cooks the clutch packs. no performance gain but is good to have. thier like 35$. a VERY wise investment.
