FYI, my car is 7AT too.

Kind of off-topic and it's already been beat to death elsewhere. The 6MT is known to be superior for tracking driving, but my car is mixed-use over the long term and it was my decision. I still think it will be quite trackable in M-mode.

Also the CFS radiator works great and my A/C is super cold.

The stock radiator has a trans cooler inside it like the CSF unit as well. It wasn't too hard the first time around to prevent losing any serious amount of fluid during the hose-swapping process, but as mentioned above I had to back out to sort out this hose diameter issue. Hopefully the second time around it will be relatively spill-free as well.
Did you do the Stillen AT cooler install yourself, or was it a shop? Any idea if they saw a hose/tube size mismatch, and/or how they dealt (or didn't) with it?

The Stillen kit ships Setrab's 19-row Series 1, which is much smaller than Stillen's engine oil cooler uses. It looks sufficient enough to be helpful though, and if I need more down the road I could always swap coolers while keeping the same lines and fittings.
In other news, still no response to my two emails to Stillen. Between this and the ******** I put up with over their ill-fitting first-generation catback a couple of years ago, Stillen's pretty much on my ****-list as a vendor now.
