Transmission cooler PLUS radiator?

Yeah - I realize this is dragging on longer than some prefer. But it doesn't hurt me to learn, that's for sure. I've been distracted with other things going on (family), and will get back on this starting from tonight. One thing that occurred to me this morning was that, most on this thread agree that the cooler transmission fluid, the better.

I understand cooler doesn't mean cold. And that the radiator will warm the fluid up quicker. That being said, it seems like the set up I have on there now is more optimal for my condition. Meaning, its only running through the transmission fluid cooler. Yeah, it's going to take longer to warm up. But I don't think that negatively affects me. As I don't crank it up and roll into the quarter mile lights. And when I do crank it up, it takes me a couple minutes or so to work it out of the garage and onto the street, then I slow roll it through the neighborhood. Then all other times, with only the transmission fluid cooler, I would be providing cooler fluid to the transmission than I would if it were also ran through the radiator. I think.

I'm wondering if maybe I might be better off just leaving it as is. It's been fine thus far.
