Default towing car trailer

hi
we tow a race car usually about every 2 weeks... we tow with a EB falcon 4 speed auto.. we have been towing the car for a year... it tows around 1.5ton all up.. its stock except for exractors. im wondering if we should do anything to the box or a bigger tranny cooler.. its got a thermo on it... and doesnt get hot at all. it never has to be reved above 2grand even on hills.. sits on around 1600rpm up the highway doing 80.. its not to good on fuel but we expect that.. we also need a new oxy sensor..would we need anything done to the box at next tranny service to make it tow a little better.. the trailer has electric brakes. so there is no strain on the car brakes as the trailer brakes will pull the car up it self..

Just a general service and a separate trans service should keep you well out of trouble!!
