Removing the tranny pan (tray?) keeps the tranny cooler?
I just finished a week of driving around without the tranny tray.

One thing that I noticed is the center console is a little cooler.

Has anyone else done this?

Dude, that has to be the ugliest avatar I have ever seen

Oh, and I haven't seen a diff with or w/out it. I *did* notice a huge difference when a certain short hispanic dude put in my short shifter and didn't replace the square-black-grommet-plate-thing. You could literally feel the heat blowing up into the interior.

I had mine off for a while and didn't notice any difference.

I can't really imagine that thing acting as an insulator since there is space for hot air to flow. Lets remember this was designed for shielding purposes.

The temp drop is most likely the result of something else you did.

Can someone photochop some green on his skin?

This is as close to the correct shade as I can remember.
