Unless you personally know a reputable transmission shop, I would use the Honda dealer for the cooler.

When I bought my toy hauler in PA and I was living in Baltimore, I blew my diesel fuel pump on the way to pick it up. It ran a bit strange without the load, but as soon as I hooked up the trailer, I could only go 35 mph on the interstate. Turned around, dropped the trailer off and told them I would be back when I got the truck fixed.

Stuff happens, get your tow vehicle set up the way you want it, then tow the trailer.
Sound advice from MisterP. Even if you tow the TM without the transmission cooler and "make it," you don't know what extra wear and damage you may be accumulating on your transmission. This is just a worry you don't need.
