If you can unbolt the cooler then unbolt it whatever way is easiest. Then remove the radiator. If it is part of the radiator itself then drain the radiator first completely and then disconnect the tranny lines and try to plug them if possible or put then draining into a container. Dont want to mix the fluids. Then remove the radiator. That should be it. That is way that I have done it before.

You want to install a transmission cooler on a 2000 gmc sonoma v6 automatic and want to know which trans line is the in and which is the out at the radiator?

Look in the yellow pages under "Transmission Parts". Go to them and buy the proper cooler. They will show you the proper way to install the cooler. Do NOT use an auto parts store. (The top line is from the trans. to the rad., the bottom line is the return. Fluid flows downward in the radiator.)

Install new lines and do not overtighten, you may use an open end wrench to tighten. Properly disopse of old tranny fluid and fill tranny to proper level.


What is proper fan sucking air through radiator to engine or blowing from engine to the radiator?

Actually, both are used. However, it is more common to pull air through the radiator towards the engine. This draws cooler outside air through the radiator. Pushing air from the engine towards the radiator means that you are pulling hot air from around the engine towards the radiator.

How hard is it to change transmission fluid in a 88 Chevy Celebrity?

To change the transmission fluid is not particularly difficult. 1. Raise the vehicle as needed and support on stands. 2. Place a suitable drain pan under the transaxle and remove the pan bolts. As you remove the bolts the pan will loosen allowing the fluid to drain out into the drain pan. Be careful to avoid a spill outside the drain pan. 3. While the pan is off is an excellent time to change the transmission filter. 4. Re install the pan. lower the car and refill the transaxle with fresh fluid to the proper level. Alternate way; Remove the pressure hose to the radiator cooler. Start the engine and let the pump drain the fluid into a suitable container. As soon as the flow stops turn the engine off. Reconnect the line and fill the transaxle to the proper level with new fluid.

Your computer begins to startup but shuts down before fully booting up?

You need to check that your CPU temperature within the normal. The easiest test is you touch the radiator if it becomes very hot, it means you do not have proper ventilation and the cooler has to be repaired or replaced. Also it's a good practice to replaced the thermal paste between the radiator and CPU. If you have a cooler attached to the chipset (north and south bridges) you need to inspect them too.


What do you need to do your 1997 dodge neon transmission keeps slipping and leaking fluid?

You did not mention where the leak is coming from. If it is from around the pan gasket, tighten the pan bolts. If from the cooler lines, tighten the hose clamps or replace the lines. In either case, add fluid to the proper level - or change the fluid, filter and gasket.
