When the Great White North went metric, the Gov't weather people started feeding the radio stations the wind chill data in "Watts per square meter" which is technically correct and conforms to SI (metric) standards. A public revolt pretty much ensued, as nobody could relate that to how you would 'feel'. So we're back to temperature indication, which is misleading in terms of what the thermometer actually says (and how thick your oil gets overnight), but we can understand it from the tactile standpoint.
(+7C here this AM, the first official day of winter, and I walked the dog wearing just a light jacket - me, not the dog. Love those Chinooks.)
The stock transmission 'cooler' in your car is a little heat exchanger in the outlet tank of the radiator. It doesn't have a lot of capacity, and in hot weather and with the engine working hard, has potential to overload the cooling system while not preventing overheated trans fluid.
Trailering in warm weather strongly suggests the need for an auxiliary trans cooler. Plumb this into the line coming from the trans to the radiator.
