My 98 Ram Truck owners manual tells you to put the trans in Neutral if the trans temp light comes on and bring rpm up some. It has a 46RE, which is a direct decendant of the 727.
Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if your clutches and bands are functioning properly..........most of the heat generated would be in the torque converter (via oil shear)?
That would make the above statement from an owners manual sensible. Cycling oil through the converter, pump, cooler and out the pressure bypass would shed heat better than applying it to the clutches and servo's where it would bank heat longer.
I would consider a remote cooler with a dedicated fan module.

Good idea. I was just thinking you could use a windshield washer pump and make it a pushbutton operation.

I have a hole in the bellhousing that I can use a garden sprayer or hose to spray water onto the torque converter while running the motor in nuetral for the late rounds
applying water to the trans & converter is what i had in mind. i have a garden tap in my pit space so was considering using it to do an extra cool as you said. i already have a fan assisted trans cooler but the heat catches up in the later rounds.
