re: "...Lubricants do their job best within a certain temperature range. For engine oils this is about 180F-220F or so. I would think that ATF would be similar. Having the cooler after the radiator would (certainly on a chilly day) cool below this...."

But also remember that we're only talking about making a small amount (at a time) of the ATF that cool -- we're not saying that all the fluid will be cooled off -- so when this small amount returns to the transmission, it will be mixed with a much greater amount of hot fluid, and be reheated, only hopefully not as hot as it would otherwise be. Overall, we're only trying to cool off the transmission a little, by steadily adding a little bit of cooled fluid to the rest of the hot fluid.
