BW 55 Automatic Transmission (sic) 240 DL 200 1980

In messages here, someone said, "oh hope you didnt get the automaitic..."
Now as to whether they meant in relation to the D24 Diesel engine in combination, or that the BW55 Auto Trans had difficulties, I really dont know.

How about some feedback on the BW55 Auto Tranny that came in a whole bunch of 240's??
Mine? Only had it a couple months and it seems to shift ok. Might have a seep leak or two, but that will be fixed I think when I put an ATP Kit in it when we do the change over of conventional trans fluid to Synthetic. Right now I am thinking PURPLE, but MOBIL will do. Also, when I have some slack in the budget I will put a filter in the auto trans fluid cooler lines.
Since I am planning to do some towing I will be putting an extra trans cooler in it, BUT it will have an H valve in it, for a winter cut off, as temps here in Alaska can easily be -100 F with wind chill and cause super cooling of trans and engine fluids, which is UNDESIRABLE.
Thanks for some feedback............
Nick
