Thoughts on additional tranny cooler

I was just reading another post and it made me think of something I've been kicking around.

My 90 RC (A518 tranny) has a factory tranny cooler (fluid goes into bottom of rad 1st and then to cooler mounted in front of radiator but behind a/c cooling fin doohickey).

Would it be overkill to put an additional aftermarket cooler in. Any suggestions for a place to mount it?

Or would it be redundant since there's already the factory one there?

Thanks,
Ted

if you can eliminate the rad through cooler, if your motor over heats at some time it will doo the same too the tranny. stock trans coolers do the bare minimum for cooling, best way is too go by your gvw and mach up a aftermarket one. compare the two for size and you will be surprised. some people say that you can actuly over cool a tranny, this may be so ...say in alaska or yukon. hahah.... where you live dont even worry about it.
