Subject:For those with automatic transmissions

In preparation for my Subaru conversion, I need to upgrade the transmission,
which means a better cooler, among other things.

 

Coolers range from the expensive FAS/Van Caf� heat sink ($300, approved by
German Transaxle),

r.html

to the equally expensive Go Westy thermostatically controlled finned tube
external cooler ($300), http://www.gowesty.com/ec_view_details.php?id=4481

rent_id> &category_id=&category_parent_id= 

 

to a relatively cheap aftermarket finned tube cooler with no thermostat
control for $169 from Small Car.

Anyone have experience with or thoughts about these options?

 

Thanks,

 

Stuart
