^You mean if the thermostat is closed, it bypasses the cooler, resulting in very little cooling? That is correct.
So yes it has everything to do with cooling. Closed/bypass = no cooling. Open to the trans cooler = normal cooling.
Fwiw the OE part does a GREAT job at warming the transmission quickly.
Not long after the engine is up to full operating temp from a cold start, the trans fluid is holding right at 170 ish.
With no bypass and full cooling flow all the time, you can drive an hour and the trans hasn’t even come close to 170. Just drove to work in the Ram today. An hour later, trans was at 135deg.
