Re: [BaadAssGremlins] trans fluid in the radiator??

[<eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe, real simple here, go buy a good small exterior bolt on trans cooler 
that will fit in front, or behind, your radiator, takes about 30 minutes to 
put on, and makes a big difference in cooling also. I have these on most of 
my cars here in Houston and the sole reason why is that HEAT destroys 
transmissions. And we have plenty of heat, fixin to set a record if we don't 
get any rain this month, so far .008 rain for month of June, which is the 
driest in recorded history going back to mid 1800's. I'm sure Bart could 
send us some rain, every day the past month in FL it seems to have been 
raining.

But a good, cheap, trans cooler about $20-$30 will not only probably solve 
your trans problem, but also keep the trans nice and cool for years to come. 
Also, since you have/had trans fluid in radiator, chances are you probably 
have...water...in trans. You might consider very   QUICKLY changing out your 
trans fluid to new fluid!!
