Check these out.
3 ROW ALL ALUMINUM RADIATOR: [Update!] Radiator Classic is back in the game and now offering Lifetime warranty! Nice.

Just say'n. duh.
little more $$ but just a little.
My '94 came with a factory 3row,, HD cooling package. This option was apparently rare. Probably why my a4ld still works fine. 135k
But they are no longer available.
Huge news! the trans cooler portion of these radiators holds 3 quarts!
If you have the factory cooler. Keep it. if not add one.
No more transmission failure due to insufficient cooling!
Not to mention I live in phoenix, AZ and you can't get enough cooling down here. Can wheel with a/c at idle indefinitely!
INSTALL NOTES:
Couple of tips for ya when you install.
1. The lower hose nipple needs a trim to clear the steering box. No Biggie.
2. If you run a puller electric fan it gets a bit tight, may need to bob the water pump. Also no biggie.
3. Scrape the factory "wind" foam off the core support the new rad fits nice and tight to the support, but no contact, which is a good thing.
4. The stock fan shroud fits like a glove.
5. stock fan is good to go.
6. stock air intake tube is good to go.
7. Will need to buy Female adapters for the trans cooler lines. Hardware store plumbing dep. Just male pipe to female flare adapter.
