was Brought home the 87 8v now Keeping auto tranny cool

[neptunonc at yahoo.com (Neptuno)]

What do you mean air to oil? AN extention from the tranny fluid to a radiator type cooler? I have never seen anything like that on a VW....However I think a saw a Chevy Nova (hot rod) with one.....It was a factory thing for them.

B&M makes a great ATF that does wonders for Bimmers, but I have not had any experience with what that may or may not do for VW... To that end, are BMW A/trannys made by ZF? If so, I would expect that the B&M stuff would help with the life of the thing. They do indeed get too hot. A custom external air to oil cooler (not oil to oil) does help to extend their lives...
