[alfa] dead trans

[AlfaBill <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a 164 in the drive waiting to have a transplant from a good 
donor car.

Very typical death. Often happens after a cooler hose failure. Rebuild 
or exchange. It's a pig to remove.

I have retrofitted both A/T 164s we drive with generic aftermarket 
coolers and they perform happily. I am convinced that the 164 trans 
dies early due to being too hot. Wife's daily driver, which gets no 
particular love is happy on trans #1 at 130K.

YMMV
