I just put an automatic transmission into my 89 GLI and see that it has no cooler of any kind that I can see nor any way to hook one up. What the heck keeps them from burning up and are they really any good?

Run synthetic only in them. They cool by the fins on the converter. Yes its corn, but I have 140K on one. Heat kills them. Run good oil and change it frequently.

As for the diagrams, invest in a Bentley Manual, check Ebay, you should be able to pick one up for 10 bucks or so
