I don't know for sure about 84 models, but on my 1990 200 turbo the
tranny oil cooler runs a bit different than we Americans are used
to. The tranny cooler lines leading to the radiator run coolant back
to a water to oil cooler mounted on the transmission. If this is the
case, you could just leave the lines either blocked off or just
unconnected. Typically on cars over here transmission fluid is piped
up to the radiator.
