Capping Radiator July 20, 2011, 08:11:54 PM I'm swapping a T-5 from a turbo coupe in my sport coupe that originally had an AOD. The T-5 does not need to be cooled off and therefore I have an inlet and outlet line from my radiator used to cool the transmission fluid from the AOD. Does anybody know how to cap those lines at the radiator? Quote Selected

Capping Radiator Reply #2 – July 20, 2011, 09:40:04 PM Yep, that's right. Just let the fluid drain out....really good, and you're done. OR, if you just want to, grab a couple of short, properly threaded bolts to cap them, but it's not necessary. Quote Selected

Capping Radiator Reply #4 – July 21, 2011, 03:45:48 PM I will never use the one in the radiator again after a horrid experience with my GF's car. Her trans went out so I bought a new one and her dad put it in as I didn't have time. 2 weeks later it died, so I looked at it and the brass insert in the rad end was cracked which sucked water into the trans. Granted I'd known this if I'd looked the first time but ya, screwed myself over. I think a 50 dollar external with fan as cheap insurance now. Quote Selected
