is Tranny cooler supposed to feel "to hot to touch" at idle?

Guys - is your auto tranny cooler pretty darn hot when car is at idle?
Today I've installed B&M auto tranny cooler , everything went pretty smooth
once everything was assembled , I've started the engine to check for leaks
well , there was none , but once the engine got up to operating temperature
tranny cooler was pretty darn hot as well, I think this is normal , but i just need somebody to confirm that this is normal.

This is how I've hooked things up: I 've removed transmission return line (upper one , without bonjo fitting) , than ran inlet hose from B&M tranny cooler to inlet port on the radiator and, outlet line from B&M tranny cooler back to transmission return port.

thanks

Nick.

its normal because there is heat transfer through those fins. if its hot, then its doing its job.

Yup. If it's not hot, you've got a problem.
