NOTE: As of September 2013, this kit is included with every GoWesty automatic transaxle (Vanagon).

The GoWesty cooler kit is a complete and well-designed kit that works. There are other cooler "kits" on the market that are not thoroughly thought-out and are unlikely to actually work (or work well). Please click here to find out what sets the GoWesty kit apart from the competition.

Product note: The oil pump inside all Vanagon automatic transaxles is not completely silent—and it is not the same in all transaxles, either. it is not uncommon for this mostly inaudible noise inside your transaxle to be amplified by the external cooler kit. The actual vibration inside the transaxle is not being increased, and it does not indicate any damage to your transaxle. In most cases, the noise will only be present when cold and at very low speeds, and it is virtually inaudible at driving speeds.
