Garret, the trans most likely doesn't have a cooler circuit and would likely puke IF you ever hot lapped in competition, especially with conventional trans fluid but since you don't compete, it's not an issue.

That said, again, not one of my Rossler transmissions that I have been running since 2005 has the factory vent plugged, my transmissions retain the cooler circuit and I only run synthetic fluid, specifically Allison's TranSynd. My car(s) have been and are regularly hot lapped and my transmissions have never puked in ~5000 passes!

IMO, you're just making it harder than it has to be for what YOU have and what YOU are doing.
