have a look at the bottom of your radiator, see the two little hoses either side of the main coolant hose that goes to the engine, they are transmission fluid hoses, your car already has a transmission cooler 
|
IMO that method of cooling is pretty poor. It may be ok for a stock non-thrashed car but once you up the power and do a bit of racing I think a proper trans cooler is a must. Think how hot the radiator gets. Then the hot auto fluid will be going through the very bottom of it ie. not getting much airflow.
I have a trans cooler that is about 40cm X 30cm or so front mounted at the moment. In the future I will be moving it so I can also fit an 8" thermo fan to it.
Heat kills these autos so I would be doing anything possible to keep the heat down. I have heard of people putting ice on their trans coolers before drag racing also.
