Tranny or Oil Cooler

In front of a 1987 turbo coupe radiator there is another sort of cooler, much smaller in shape. Is this an engine oil cooler or a transmission cooler?

does the car have a/c if so im willing to bet that its the a/c condensor.  transmission coolers that ive seen in fords are a part of the radiator. two lines feed into the side tanks of the radiator.

They had both the radiator cooler and the external cooler.
Guess they figured the weak a4ld needed all the help it could get.
Works great with my 5.0L aod combo though,lol.
