How many people have fitted transmission coolers to their automatic transmission vehicles? I have a 2011 Ford Ranger 3.0ltr TD and using my hydraulic engineering background experience, I can see that it would be a beneficial addition, if not a mandatory one.

Just had the first voyage with HR WDH fitted to the NT Paj to tow the 2.4 Galaxy Odyssey. 800 km round trip for Christmas and the New Year.
