4. CAUTION: Oil-based solvents and cleaners should not be used when cleaning the radiator. Oil-based solvents and cleaners can damage the
radiator end tank seals and cause leaks.
Clean the area around the transmission fluid cooler fittings so that contaminants do not enter the transmission fluid cooler when the transmission
fluid cooler fittings are removed.
5. NOTE: Remove only one transmission fluid cooler fitting at a time, otherwise the cooler may drop into the radiator.
Remove the upper transmission fluid cooler fitting.
6. Once the fitting is removed from the transmission fluid cooler, verify that there is a gasket between the transmission fluid cooler and the inside of
the radiator tank.
^
If there is no gasket, install a new radiator.
^
If there is a gasket, proceed to the next step.
7. Inspect the transmission fluid cooler fitting threads for damage.
^
If the threads are damaged, install a new radiator.
^
If the threads show no sign of damage, proceed to the next step.
8. CAUTION: Thread sealant or tape should never be used on the threads of the transmission fluid cooler fittings. The use of such materials will
create a leak path.
Install a new O-ring on the transmission fluid cooler fitting.
9. NOTE: Do not use air tools to tighten the transmission fluid cooler fitting. Use a hand-operated torque wrench only.
Making sure that the gasket between the transmission fluid cooler and the inside of the radiator tank is still in place, install the transmission fluid
cooler fitting.
