Subject:Auto Trans Cooler - question
From:Jeff Lincoln
Date:Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:41:57 -0400

I finally got the engine all hooked up and ready to go in Grover - it will
nto fire up - but that isn't my question.

I noticed after filling it with coolant that there is leaking near the trans
cooler - I checked the hoses and everything is tight and not leaking there.
I was wondering if there is a possibility that the seals where it connects
to the trans are bad - if they are easily replaceable.

I think you all see what I'm getting at - considering the price of replacing
that thing I am really hoping it's the possibility there are seal issues -
it did not leak before the engine transplant - but we did take the trans out
and clean it so I'm open to the possibility I disturbed something while
doing that.

Any words of wisdom or advice are greatly appreciated.
