Subject:Auto tranny replacement note
From:Eric Pickering

Hi all,
        I just wanted to pass on some wisdon from experience on the tranny
replacement (auto) thread.  The tranny in my '86 Westy went out last year so
this winter I pulled it and started looking for a replacement.  I found one
locally and bought it ($400 :-( ).  #s were right everything seemed OK.
BUT, dumb me I didn't realize my Westy has a trans. cooler but the one I
bought didn't (really dumb because you can see the difference from 10 feet).
Sooo, I now need a auto tranny with a cooler and need to get rid of this one.
        If you need an automatic make sure you see if you do or don't have a
cooler on yours and buy accordingly.  I think most Westies had coolers and
non-Westies didn't - so, if you don't have a westy and need a Tranny call me
(614) 688-9334 and if you have one with a cooler do the same!

Eric
