If vehicle comes in for transmission fluid leaking from trans-oil cooler fittings on the
radiator, please check the following before replacing the radiator/cooler:~
1. Remove both of the transmission lines from the cooler?s top/bottom flared fittings
on the radiator. ~
2. Loosen the hex nut on the top flared fitting on the radiator tank.~
3. Torque the top flared fitting to 235 +/- 15 Lb-In.~
4. Torque hex nut to 100 +/- 10 Lb-In.~
5. Repeat for bottom flared fitting.~
6. Reinstall transmission line per normal installation procedures and ensure correct
fluid level.~
~ If vehicle is in need of a
new radiator for another reason, check the new radiator for
correct torque on the trans-oil cooler fitting per steps 2-5 above.~
~ If radiator has a
yellow mark by the trans-oil cooler fittings the torque does not have
to be checked.
