Expert Reply:

A class I or class II transmission cooler should work well for your needs.

I recommend class I transmission cooler # D13101, or a class II cooler like # D12906 would also work to help with the issue you are having during warm weather. Both of these Derale coolers are designed to cool very efficiently and install easily, and either one would be a good choice for your 2000 Buick Century.

In addition to the transmission cooler, you would also need the custom fittings # 41418 to match the cooler connections to your vehicle connections. You would need to ensure that you have room to install any cooler you choose.

Please note that though installing a transmission cooler may help to alleviate the issue you are having, but it would not be a solution if there is an existing transmission problem on your vehicle.
