Title: pissy tranny rad
Post by: just-boot-it on July 03, 2014, 08:54:20 PM: Trans cooler on my xj has gone all lardy and started leaking near the bend. Can this be fixed or is it replacement only.d I'dprefer to fit new, other than lighthouse who do we recommend?

Post by: JamesH on July 07, 2014, 07:23:54 AM: I would start with removing the cooler and the minimum possible of the old lines. Most logical would be to remove back to the hard lines and then fit your new cooler with new flexible hose and good jubilee clips.
