I think GW's kit here looks pretty good all right.
Bit spendy at $ 300 ..
but .....thermostatically controlled..
and looks like very high grade hoses are used, etc.

If I had a fresh auto trans on any 'Keeper' Vanagon of mine ..
I'd put one of these on ....price being the only downside that I can see so
far.
