I actually was vaguely wondering about that -- will running the engine until it's at 80C or above heat up the trans fluid too? Or do you actually have to drive to heat up the trans fluid?

I won't get a chance to look at it again until tomorrow (Friday) evening, but pulling one of the hoses off the radiator has been on my list. Do you know which one is the pressure side and which one is the return?
