Search archives for discussion of tranny failure due to radiator failure causing ingress of coolant to tranny.

I had a tranny cooler installed on my NA 240 wagon about 8 months ago along with new Blackstone Radiator. Some additional plumbing and peace of mind for longevity of the AW70. Whilst I don't do any towing I have noticed the temp guage stays at or below 9 O'Clock on fully-laden family holiday trips, whereas prior to new rad/tranny cooler it would creep up to 10 O'Clock going uphills with a load...Others may tell you AW70's are plentiful enough and so spend your money elsewhere. Can't comment on oil cooler from turbo 240. And no my temp comp board hasn't been bypassed yet!

All the best with your decision.
