My caravan has auto trans, ac, and power steering, each of which has its own cooler and temperature requirements so there are areas of the grill that I must leave open after the trans. warms up. The newer vehicles have a grill designed to "stall " (aerodynamically) as the wind speed increases thereby automatically blocking the air flow proportional to wind speed over the grill. My biggest problem is the converter clutch won't lockup until the trans. is up to temperature.
