3k stall is no problem for the stock cooler, i never had an aftermarket one with the 3k stall and temps were normal even under heavy driving/heat of summer. Now with the 4k stall that i have forget it, tranny cooler is required.

At the very worst it may get a little warm, don't go beating on it until you have one installed.
My old 3200 did ok with only the stock cooler under normal conditions.
It really needed the extra cooler at the track though. My 4000 spends a
lot of time unlocked, I wouldn't dare drive any significant distance without a cooler.
