Dual tranny coolers?

I have a small hayden right now its 7"x10" I want a larger one but every store in town is out and said 2-3 weeks. But napa had another identical one ie mine they would sell for cheap. I was thinking of mounting it in line with my other one. What do you think? That would be a lot of cooling space, will it help?

I use to run 2 coolers with my A3 setup. Really simple answer, the more fluid you have, the cooler the trans will run. More fluid is never a bad thing.

2 hayden 403's each 11" wide are now side by side. My trans temp dropped to 190 at the transmission. No increase in the motor temp at all.

Since I'm too lazy to search, I'll just ask here.....

.....where do you have the temp sensor for reading the tranny temps? Directly into the pan or something? Just curious really, although I'm considering getting a tranny cooler for my car, especially since I've got the 4.10's, so it's always running at higher RPM's than it used to. And I guess it may not be a bad idea to have a temp gauge for the tranny either.
