I have been reading the transmission saga and will now add my two cents
worth. Gents, seriously consider replacing the entire radiator or removing
at the minimum and taking it to a radiator shop to flush and clean not only
the radiator core but the tranny cooler and verify it isn't plugged up or
severely restricted flow wise. Spend all the time and money you want on the
tranny's guys but if you don't clean the heat exchanger on the radiator you
might just have wasted your time and money.
