Recommended Oil coolers & questions

Interesting info here, I have a '15 DD. Is it feasible to add an 19+ cooler to it?

Im curious when you guys have an oil cooler for the tranny.. Is this for 6mt only? Ive seen alot of 'coolers' for the liquids for the car; transmission, power steering.. Are these a must need for track? Im curious about the transmission fluid.. After driving for a while in both auto and manual mode i get this.. Thunk when it shifts from second to first gear when slowing down and shifting down by itself. Almost feels like a stall. There is also a clunk... I want to say at the driver side rear.
When i took it to the dealer for an oil change and there free 128 (or 126?) multi point inspection; they said everything was good!
I know alot of cars run without ever touching there transmission fluid, im also curious how many miles should i push before a flush?

The trans coolers are for 7at users. That downshift I have experienced once or twice myself, does it happen when you have like a very light throttle while just barely cruising down a residential street (like if you were looking for an address)? I have only had it happen maybe once or twice and it seems that your right at a load range where the trans isn't quiet sure what gear it wants. After I had a tune done I have not had this happen since as the trans seems to hold gear longer.

Is a cooler necessary? Maybe not but a Stillen at cooler is like 300.00 and a 7at trans is like 9k. So I do track my car so I give it every bit of protection I can, flushed trans at 35k with amsoil and installed cooler when I bought it and will probably to regular drain and fills every 30k after.

Just purchased a z1 19 row. Figured i might as well do an install now rather than procrastinate and never do it lol.

It happens when i come to a complete stop. I have a ecutek etune thru SZ, and revs on the auto is higher per gear. It happens when im slowing down to a light or a stop. Happens on both man mode and auto. It sort of feels like my brakes grab suddenly then slows again.
I did have pads and rotors replaced and break in was fine; dealer said everything is still straight but still couldnt find why it did that. I took the dealer mech in the passenger to show him what i meant; he couldnt figure it out.. All he did was recommend me for a full on full inspection which would run me alot of money.. But couldnt find the courage to do the inspection as i would worry that this could be "normal" when the temps are high.
