Transmission cooler PLUS radiator?

OK, I'll have the trans cooler part of the radiator checked as well. They probably will, but I'll make sure. My thinking turns out to agree with what you guys are saying. My thought is that, if the fluid went through the cooler first and then through the radiator, it might GAIN some heat in the radiator (depending on conditions).

But with the other way around, it might not blow off a ton of heat in the radiator, and then it will further cool in the cooler. Sending optimally cooled fluid to the transmission. And that the radiator would tend to warm up the fluid more quickly than just driving alone. Then once the fluids are all fully warm, the radiator is going to tend to cool the trans fluid to a uniform temp before sending to the cooler. I can't think of anything negative.

However, now I'm going to have to find fittings. As I recall, it looked like threaded nipples on the radiator.
