i dunno if they still reccomend it, but OJR said that if you decided to abuse your fit on the track, and it was a/t, that a tranny cooler was in order, but even then not necessary. For DD, it would just be as a precautionary thing.
a lot of guys who boost a/t lexus is300's do some major work on the tranny's, beefing up parts...but only the ones who decided to make over 300hp to the wheels.
I know the fit probaby does not have the strongest transimssion ever, but i'm pretty sure it can hold at least up to 8 psi.
