Drivetech tranny coolers

Hi guys
Has anybody fitted one to their lux? I'm looking at getting one for our 2013 diesel 4 speed. Tow camp trailer or a boat but up here the heat is intense. Recommend?

I fitted one yesterday, haven't tested it out yet but it installed pretty easy.

It did but the instructions had bracket A and B around the wrong way.

I also plumbed it different to how the instructions say, I put the cooler before the one in the radiator, after some research suggested that was the best way.

The hose coming from the transmission that will go into the cooler is the one on the drivers side. I dumped a bunch of fluid on the floor to find that out for myself :x
