You might consider replacing the leak prone cooler with an aftermarket one.
Kennedy has a kit & instructions for installing a cheap one you can get at
any auto parts store, and Go Westy as well as Van Caf� have more
sophisticated units, but at much higher cost.

Subject: Moving forward - with an autotranny.....

Finally got my 1991 Carat into the shop for tranny overhaul
work. It's an automatic tranny and this is my first experience with the
one in Vanagons.

Just wondering if there are concerns and/or paranoia's I should have,
points to make to the mechanic, just things I should know to take care
of, and take care of it, things to do in preparation for the future of
the tranny, upgrades and general operation.
