Default Toploader at the Track

Anyone have any advice for track prepping a 4 speed toploader. I went to the track the other day and after about 10-15 minutes transmission got very difficult to shift.

I think it got hot; I am going to try to add a temp gauge to the transmission gear oil. Any opinions about optimal fluid temp? I searched Stewart Warner for a transmission oil temp gauge but couldn't find anything. Does SW make a gauge; I figure it would not get nearly as hot as engine oil.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Regards,

Phil (fastd)
