think about it a bit, the ideal trans coolant temp should be in the 150F-160F range, so how you route the trans fluid cooler lines maters, engine coolant can easily run 210F-230F going into the top of the radiator, from a hot engine and run 170F-180F returning too the engine after its trip through the radiator, thats more likely to heat than cool transmission fluid.
having an aux trans cooler with an electric powered fan and AN#8 minimum line size is generally a very good idea!(obviously you need to have the clearance and location to mount it

OR
out of trans, to radiator cooler, out to
aux cooler, back to trans?

Im many cases adding a deeper transmission pan that adds two or more quarts will lower the average transmission temp. at least 15 degrees, while its certainly not as effective as a trans cooler with an electric fan but far better than nothing at all!, just be aware that if theres limited ground clearance under the car, a deeper trans pan may be a problem when speed bumps and steep driveway access is encountered
