After talking to Jon at FAS I'm sold. Their PowerPoint undersells the unit, there is no mention or photo of the internal design that is the real key to why it works. Turns out I have a local source, but 10% sales tax will be more than shipping from Van Café!

Van Café sells the same one. You could reach out to them about any issues.

Cheers,

The plastic coolant bleeder/connector on my '85 automatic has failed, and since I'm converting to a Subaru 2.2 someday I don't want to buy a $200 part to replace it that will be tossed eventually. This means getting rid of the stock water cooled unit since this connector has connections for its plumbing.

I like the simplicity and ease of installation of the F.A.S./GTA design, and GTA has tested it, so it's at the top of my list. I know coolers have been discussed here before, but I've not seen anything on this cooler: http://www.foreignautosupply.com/parts-accessories/1-automatic-transmission- heat-sink/#.VqJrjvkrLIU

So, anyone have one?

Thanks!

Stuart
