I agree with Kelli, and I also recommend installing an aftermarket tranny cooler. You're going to get all sorts of suggestions concerning where to put it and how to hook one up. I recommend disconnecting the stock cooler and replacing it with a B&M-brand cooler and placing it in front of the AC condenser.
Others will tell you to put it behind the condenser, in the fender, etc. And they'll tell you that I'm nuts replacing the stock cooler (or heater, as I call it) and that the cooler should be used in conjunction with the stock one. Then you'll get the people arguing whether the cooler should be placed in a series with the stock one, or parallel.
Of course, none of us have really conducted a test to see which method is the best. I intended to, but haven't yet. At any rate, I recommend the aftermarket cooler. Having one installed has got to be better than the mistake that came with the car.
Having said that, my original tranny lasted 133k miles without an aftermarket cooler.
