Probably a really good idea seeing as the transmission fluid 'cooler' is perfunctory at best. A UOA (used oil anaysis) on someone's used transmission fluid could give better information on if a synthetic is necessary for your driving habits/climate/etc. It will also help you determine when to change the fluid.
