    The kilbys definitely trap heat from the tranny and send it upward into the cabin. I noticed the seat bolts get really hot during 1 hr+ drives but as long as the trans oil light isn't on, the tranny is within operating temperature and shouldn't be an issue.

    I have a new tranny, and it gets just as hot as my old tranny. We do have a tranny cooler already. Not sure what good it would do to add another one?
    I am with LDUB, if the lights not on, I would not worry. My light has been on twice, while trying to plow up a sand ledge. I checked the fluid at Uwharrie, no problems, still looked great. To clear the light, put it in neutral, bring RPMs to 2500 or so and wait a minute, everything cooled down quite nicely.
    I would not worry about the hot tranny, I think its normal.
    Kilbys may not be helping, but I doubt it makes that much difference.
