Well, I had to replace the radiator and discovered that the 2 transmission lines that connect at the bottom are NEXT to impossible to connect since the trans-cooler inside the radiator MOVES. Yes, I've exchanged 3 and they all wiggle, just enough so I can't get my lines on.
I've read that the trans fittings on the radiator can leak causing transmission failure so I went with the external cooler route as many already have.
Here's my new dilemma.....For those that have converted to a trans cooler, how did you connect the stock/factory trans lines to the external cooler? Did you find an adapter? What thread are those lines...I know their 3/8 but can't find them. The external cooler just uses a standard barbed end so you can use a regular oil hose and clamps.
Any and all help is appreciated as this thing has been sitting in my garage because of 2 fittings!!
