Bro, was the problem the cooler? If so, how so? I recently had my 94 start slipping a liittle and making a little whining noise when shifting from 3rd to 4th. I checked my fluid and found it low. I added a little less than 2 qts. About 20 min. later while driving home, the 4 connector water hose from the tranny cooler sprung a leak at the cooler connection. I put a new hose on and refilled the coolant. Started the car and now the coolant looks like a milkshake. I have Ebahn cd rom manual on my computer. As I researched how to ID my tranny, I discovered that my cooler matches the one pictured for the 01M tranny but my tranny is the 096 with the dipstick. Have any wisdom you could share to guide me as I try to save my Vdub?
