Should I nofollow and/or noindex links that are not cached?


At this point of time adding the nofollow to the anchor tags and the noindex to the non-cacheable links in your situation is a good idea.

What I would suggest is to evaluate the (what I believe to be) tiny pages that indicate features of the item such as color and price, and if they don't have enough content, merge the contents of those pages with the product page. No one wants to make an additional click just for the screen to turn blank for a moment and then have only one word or number show up on the screen.

If however you have a page giving long paragraphs about a feature (for example, describing how deep a red is and why that color is best for the product, etc), then let google index it and let the page be cache-able, then you will score a greater audience and better response times, plus you can make a link to that feature page from the product page.
