the sucky thing is no one has worked out why it blocks the transmission cooler when its in manual mode, and how to get around it.
Where have you seen that? I'd be VERY surprised to see that as a feature on any transmission. it'd be suicidal for the manufacturer.
No cooling at all when the box needs it the most would kill the oil and soon after the trans very quickly.
Generally speaking all the manual mode switch does is change to a different shift program in the ecu. it'll hold gears,possibly up the line pressure slightly for faster shifts,and change to each gear on demand rather than from sensor input.
There's no changes to fluid flow other than a possible valve closing off after the pump to restrict flow and up the pressure. Before taking that statement about the 'no cooling in manual mode' as gospel I'd be testing it myself if I was you dude. plumb an oil pressure gauge into the cooling line and watch for changes when you go to and from manual mode. my money's on it being a myth.
