The reason that the cooler is in the radiator is to both heat & cool the fluid, not just cool. Loading it when cold can be worse than letting it get a little hot. You're much better off with no external cooler, or if one is needed, using a cooler with a thermostatic fan so that it only pulls air when the fluid is over temp. Just some gray hair advice, and you may choose to ignore it.

Best of luck with your build.
I will look into a controlled temp transmission cooler, you guys know alot more than I do for sure, and it wont let me post a picture from my phone
