Get the oil cooler. your tranny already has a cooler in the radiator. Not sure as to any brand being better than another. Also, run a cooler thermostat, such as 180*. This will work good all year round, and with cooler radiator temp comes cooler trany fluid temp.

OR

Savve up some more & install both. Install the trany cooler before the radiator
a) Trany fluid out to cooler in.
b) Cooler out to radiator in
c) Radiator out to trany in.

Tranny cooler. The 700r4 runs hotter than other RWD transmissions, and it's a good investment against blowing your trans.

Almost forgot- mine's by B&M...
