I went to my local Advanced auto and got the smallest aluminum trans cooler they had and mounted it in front of the radiator with ADAL clamps from lowes and used the hose clamps and trans cooler line that were in the kit. I plumbed mine so it uses the radiators built in cooler and then runs through the aftermarket cooler and back into the transmission.
With a 180'F engine coolant thermstat, an added air-oil cooler and good air flow you wont have any transmission heat problems.
Don't use that cheap-0 mounting kit BS the kit comes with. ADAL clams are best.

V6 heads, cam, intake manifold, fuel system, ignition, V6 parts blow out, prices 1/2 to 2/3 the retail price on NIB parts and well below ebay prices on my used parts.
i used the hayden 679 from oreilly auto which is the same as the bigger imperial stacked plate cooler from advanced auto. tapped into the top line. out of the rad to the bottom of the cooler and out the top of the cooler to the steel line.
The bigger the better. For every 10 degree drop in temperature you add ten thousand miles to an automatic transmission so logic says the bigger the better. You should route it through the radiator first then to the cooler and then back to the trans.

I would only do that in a northern climate or when I was planning on driving in cold winters.
can you show a pic of your setup? just bought one from a guy here and I'm not much of a visionary type person... I have to see what I'm doing and your set up is exactly that.
