S550 Do transmission scoops make a difference?

I recently started tracking my 2016 GT MT82 and I keep reading about transmission heat and lockout issues.

Are those problems legitimate or overblown? Do minor preventative issues like this air scoop make any difference?

Thanks

Transmission Cooling Scoop MT82 — Mustang Geek

This air scoop redirects underbody airflow towards the cooling fins on MT82 transmissions to reduce operating temps under extreme conditions. It’s made from lightweight 0.063-inch laser-cut and CNC-bent 5052 H32 aluminum and installs easily using existing bell housing hardware. Fits S550 and S650 (2

Legit.

I have a scoop as well as a pump and cooler on my MT82. Lockout is usually attributed to your clutch. A heavier clutch over works the syncs and causes lock out.

I only ever got lockout when i first got the car and it happened on the street twice i think. Once was going into 2nd and the other 3rd. As Boss said I have heard it being attributed to the clutch as well as the stock body mounted shifter

I have that scoop, along with a mcleod RST and MGW shifter and it hasnt happened to me on track
