I have a trans cooler on my car just because of some light towing and its cheap insurance. I believe 100 degrees above ambient is the quoted prime number

Excellent point. In my application, the trans cooler is essentially built into the radiator. I have it blocked and coolant temps get high -- I should also worry about the trans.
I'm also running about 80% synthetic fluid, which should hopefully handle the extra heat.
Trans temp is that one setting that's missing from the SG-II for monitoring. It may be an X-Gauge add-on, but I don't believe there's a sensor for it.
Christ -- great schematic for the inline wiring! I have been wanting to try this for a couple years now.
The next question, why doesn't the TC lockup if it's too cold?
