Default Trans Cooler before or after radiator?

When hooking up a secondary transmission cooler, does it go before or after the radiator?

It can go either way but you should put it in front of the radiator, so it gets the coolest air first.

after
+1, itll cool the most with it after. If you put it before, the radiator will actually heat eh fluid backup.
