I think you'll find that adding the trans cooler will increase the torque that the box can handle by a lot more than you'd think.

When I was researching Porsche transaxles (back when I raced Porsches) on some models, the only difference was the addition of the cooler and pump and the trans was then miraculously rated for an extra 200ft/lbs torque.

Just like you've found with the engine, I think if you can add a cooler and pump and keep the oil temps down really low, you'll probably get away without blowing more boxes.
