LQ4 S480 Build
Can you feel fluid moving through the lines? I mean you would think that if there is hot fluid going through the cooler it would also get hot. I know squat about transmissions. Just mystery boxes to me, lol. But if the trans is getting hot you would think if that same hot fluid was pumping through the cooler it would have to get hot too unless it has a stuck thermostatic bypass.
If you are using braided lines and AN fittings then make sure the line or fitting isnt clogged and/or the fitting was actually made hollow inside and not a defect. Unhook a fluid line and put it in a bucket or carton and start the car it should fill up really fast if not keep moving back in the system until you get fluid and look for obstructions on the other side.

I didn't even realize you had everything back together until I was messing around on youtube today. You sure made quick work of this one 
You have really inspired me to get a turbo build of mine up and under way for this winter.
