To stock cooler or not to stock cooler
That was the question. I'm getting ready to do the stick to auto conversion. I have a big cooler on the shelf that I have fitted to the rad support and figured I would just run 3/8 hard lines all the way up and back, might as well do it right. Well just to check things out I pulled the plugs on the radiator since lots of stock one have the tranny cooler just blocked off. Gee geuss what I found. First there 5/16 line, yuk, give me some volume. Then they begane to weep, then drip. Guess the best way to go is straight to a cooler, I hate it when trans fluid and antifreeze get mixed.

Tell me about it. I had to buy 5 gallons of tranny fluid to flush out my transmission this weekend because of a leaky tranny cooler in the radiator. I'm having a special on 5 gallons of dust controller or driveway weed killer this weekend, come and get it!

not to mention the fact that Prestone is hell on the fiber discs in the tranny.
