5MT Transmission cooler?
Effective? Yay or nay

I've never heard of anyone using something like this on their transmissions over here. Even on differential covers, i dont see it too often.

Might help a little bit. I've seen things like this for differentials but not ffor the transmission. If you really need more tranny cooling you'd probably want a complete tranny cooling system with remote oil cooler. Do you do endurance track events? I would imagine the stock tranny would be good for any other use.

Most people that do track days don't have a problem if they run a good tranny oil. I know Fritz blew a tranny at the track but I don't know if it was a temp related problem or not.

I run Neo 75w90, which has worked very well for me in the tranny and diff, but many times with the type of driving that I did (I suppose they could be called rallyes) the shift feel did get fairly notchy after about 60miles. Didn't skip any shifts, but it didn't feel too healthy either.
FD transmissions are much much better than the 2nd gen transmissions, but i'm sure there is room for improvement here and there.
I might be totally off, but wouldnt a remote cooling system require a pump?

I don't see where you would mount a diff/tranny cooler where it would be effective. It's already extremely difficult getting enough cold air to the important things -- intercooler, radiator, and oil coolers.
