Thanks that helped alot. And also that is a very good point that i thought of before but never did it on my previous trucks. But trans temp normally stays pretty far below 200 degrees. But yet they put it in a cooler with the radiatior which can get over 200 (shouldn't be called a cooler its more like a heater). I may just go up and patch it the best i can to get it home then put an external cooler on like you said. I have a pretty good size one left over from my dads old dump truck that should do the trick cause we all know keep em cool and they last longer.
