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.
