Will this Filter & Screen Kit fit my 1985 VW Vanagon with a 3-speed automatic transmission?

Yes, this kit is designed to fit VW Bus and Vanagon models from 1974 to 1991 that have the 3-speed automatic transaxle, so it’s compatible with your 1985 Vanagon.

What parts are included in this kit, and will I need anything else for installation?

The kit includes the fluid filter, a gasket, and a rubber pan gasket specifically for the 3-speed automatic transmission. If you’re also planning to change the differential gear oil, you'll need a larger cork pan gasket which is not included in this kit.

Is it difficult to install the Filter & Screen Kit myself, or should I hire a mechanic?

Many customers find this kit straightforward to install with basic tools and mechanical knowledge. Clear fit and no leaks have been reported. However, if you’re not comfortable working on your vehicle’s transmission, consulting a professional is a good idea.

Why should I consider upgrading to the External Cooler Kit when servicing the transmission fluid?

Upgrading to the External Cooler Kit during fluid service helps improve transmission reliability by better managing operating temperatures. It’s a recommended enhancement that can extend the life of your 3-speed automatic transmission.

As good as can be. The gasket arrived damaged, but Gowesty was great about shipping out a replacement promptly.

An essential part for keeping the tranni happy. Old fluid was ok BUT definitely needed to get this drained and cleaned up.

Great product, easy install

Good kit. Seal is folded up and has a hard time seating due to memory in the material

Works great and delivered quickly

Simple and Smooth Install

Pretty simple and good for your autotransmission

Direct replacment

It is pretty tricky getting that gasket back on, but it can be done. I did it incorrectly the first time and lost all my atf which instantly started drooling out. 2nd time was the charm
