While an aftermarket transmission cooler such as the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets - Class III - Efficient # D13502 is definitely less expensive than a brand new radiator, I cannot recommend this as a quality alternative to repairing a leaking radiator - you should definitely get that fixed.
