When choosing a transmission cooler, the general rule of thumb is to choose the largest cooler that will fit in the available space (unless you live in a very cold climate).
The best place to mount the cooler is directly behind the grille, directly in front of the radiator and AC condenser. The Derale # D13503 measures 11 inches long 8-3/4 inches tall and 7/8 of an inch thick. If you have the necessary space available, this cooler would work perfectly.
I've linked you to some FAQ articles about transmission coolers.
