We have a '90 westy automatic, and we think it is wonderful!
Acceleration is about the same as the standard. It might have slightly
higher fuel consumption compared to my ex-81 standard westy, but it doesn't
make much difference. It handles well, even on hills. The only thing
missing is an overdrive gear for freeway cruising. It is nice not to worry
about worn-out clutches.
I replace the AT fluid about once a year, and change the filter
periodically.
It has been trouble-free so far. (knock on wood)
