Default trans oil cooler radiator rx300 2001

hi all, has anyone upgraded there trans oil cooler on a 2001 rx300?
my oil cooler radiator is done so was thinking of a upgraded one rather
than stock, as transmission failure is part due to overheating.
has anyone done this or can anyone recommend a brand/model to look for?
any help would be great

I deleted my factory cooler and added a 20,000 BTU B&M cooler in front of the condenser. My tranny temps never rose above 180* all summer in 95* degree heat. Here is my thread on the DIY.
