How cost effect is installing a trans cooler on an 03 at 40000 miles? Someone suggested it because they had put one on their 88 Olds.

But I think a cooler could be good.

Anything in the 10-12 GVWR range will be under $50. That should do fine. Fairly compact as well.
I'm running an 18000 GVWR viscosity/thermo controlled unit, but that'* a bit extreme for your description.

All of us have a dinky little chamber in the radiator for the trans.
92-95 SSE'* and SSEi'* came with an external Auxiliary cooler. I ditched mine and did a radiator bypass after the trans explosion due to debris clogging all the passages.
I now run ONLY the 18k external unit.
