I got this same question, so I went to a Trans Expert and gave me a fast non tech answer. Water will always be a beter cooler than air. Understanding that, the temp at the trans fluid is almost always higher than the Engine oil temp (explosions and flames are handle inside the engine and not inside the trans) so the water will be better to absorb the heat of the trans fluid that the air by it self. After lowering the temps with water you can aid warever HD A/A fluid cooler/s as long as you dont restring pressure that much.
I was thinking that the radiator trans cooler was there to take the trans fluid to working temp fast, and for cold weathers, but this Trans expert told me I was wrong and under the influence of a lot of urban legends.
I live in a place where the cold climate temp is 32* Celcius, and I use the radiator trans cooler and then 2 HD a to a coolers and I hold the temps to 185*F and on some passes I can see 195F but never pass that temp.
Hope it makes sense.......regards.
