Like pulling all the leaves out from and between the rad, ac condenser, etc. Having all your preventative maintenance completed, including cooling systems up to snuff will go a long way to keep temps where they need to be.
Doing my own preventative work I pulled the alt off a 528 last fall to replace the dreaded oil filter housing seal and pull out a pound of acorns from the back of the air duct at the rear alt housing. Damn chipmunks...... 
As these trans age, there will be more failures. Welcome to "old cars"!
