Default 99-04 GT's with automatic tranny need cooler with fluidyne radiator?

I have a 2000 gt and i just got a fluidyne auto tranny radiator, is there any need to put in an additional tranny cooler if i have a fluidyne auto radiator already or will it work more than enough?

the 'auto' radiator is a tranny cooler.

getting another cooler would be funny, dual cooled tranny, aha i actually thought about that, mounting a second tranny cooler. may make it run too cold though, hah.

Your tranny should run cooler than your engine. It's actually kinda silly to have the tranny cooled by an engine temp cooler. The one auto I do have barely breaks 180* in the summer time when the engine sits around 210*. In the winter, I may see the tranny temp gauge move off of 100* and it works perfectly. If you want your auto to last, add an external cooler after the cooler built into the radiator. Of course, that'd be a good time to install an external filter before the radiator cooler with a temp gauge.
