If you have Transmission Fluid in your coolant, you need a new radiator. The transmission cooler is a separate cooler located inside the radiator. Apparently yours has sprung a leak. It cannot be serviced separately. First replace the radiator. If its still overheating, then check the T stat.

How many different thermostats can you get for a 97 catera mine runs hot?
If the engine is running hot, then changing the thermostat to a lower degree is not the answer. Use the exact same temperature thermostat that came from the factory. Now find the real cause of the overheating. Possibly the thermostat was partially stuck closed, or the radiator is clogged, water pump, blown head gasket, fan not working, etc. Do a complete service of the cooling system and find the problem.
