If the AW4 has a full-flow cooler, then that would be ideal. If it is not full-flow, then the fluid would bypass the filter... and by that, the cooler as well.
Let me look at a fluid diagram and I'll get back to you.

Someone should have thought of that before. It's just a remote-mount oil filter plumbed into the trannies return line, and add a temp. gauge.

I looked at the fluid diagrams for the AW4... it has an oil-cooler bypass valve.
The valve is thermal and pressure activated. It blocks flow until the trans warms-up, and it will block flow if the cooler or lines are restricted.
I can't find a pressure-spec where the valve will open and dump back to the pan.
If you do the inline filter, connect a pressure gauge after the filter and cooler (on the return line) to ensure it is getting adequate flow.
Remember... it won't flow at all until the valve warms up.

You will wish it was.
It is in the transmission, attached to the valve body where the "oil tubes" attach. When the valve bypasses, it dumps the pressure back to the pan.
Even ignoring the valve, it is still not a full-flow cooler. The greater restriction in the line/cooler, the less fluid will flow through the cooler.
