From here: auto transmission
Normal operating temperature for an automatic transmission is about the
same as the engine temperature, i.e., about 195°F. The temperature inside the torque converter, while pulling a
big load from a standing start, could easily rise above 350°F. Fluid breakdown often results in harsh shifting and
slip-bump concerns. broken down fluid often exhibits a different coefficient of friction, and foams up easily
causing aeration.

yep the trans cooler definitely helps to regulate temperatures. I wish both engines came stock with one, but wasn't too bad to add one in.
I'd say 350°F is a tad on the spicy side lol. Fluid starts to break down much before that. I don't even like seeing the trans temp consistently above 200. With the cooler though, temps are now much better
