I have the gearbox temperature about 136 C . Is it normal ? what should be the maximum temperature ? Is it related to the gearbox cooler ?

What??? 136 C, that is over 400 F, A little warm yes. I know that oil gets hot but I don't think it is supposed to get that hot. You have a temp gauge on the tranny? And a gearbox cooler? I think you also have a bad bearing that is heating up the works. I would dump the oil, put in some slick 50 and then wait for the bearing to blow. Unless you can find the trouble maker. I may be wrong on this, but I'm going to do some checking. I'll get back to this.
I did some checking on the gearbox temp, I found 2 sites that refer to 80C being the temp and recomending synthetic oil, low friction stuff. I don't know about the gearbox cooler, is it just an external transmission cooler? Or one with bigger holes in it? (for the thicker oil) You might try it or just get that one cleaned out.
