The trans cooler is part of the radiator. How did you reuse it? Since the trans is now slipping, you have somehow either modified the fluid pressure or it is overheating.

+a took the transmission cooler out of the old radiator by busting it out and wrapping some of the old radiator coils around it and mounting it right under neath the. Radiator to the frame of the car and are you talking about the transmission over heating or the car, cause the car DOSE not over heat at all

No, I was referring to the trans overheating. To be honest, I'm not sure how you exactly did this. Is it possible that you have the flow reversed?
