Hello Folks, yesterday was a sad day. My 1962 Plymouth Savoy with its new radiator I installed last summer threw me a curve ball yesterday.. Had the car out last night and noticed some coolant weeping from the radiator overflow tube, not a big deal I thought, but looking closer at the puddle it looked a little pink.
Unfortunately it looks like the internal trans cooler ruptured into the engine coolant
Questions for the experienced:
Is there a good external trans cooler that would tuck away somewhere nicely and not look too out of place on a 1962 Plymouth Max Wedge Clone?
Radiator will be repaired under warranty, but given the extensive time and cost to decontaminate the Trans and Engine due to the leak I am very gun shy about using a combo setup again. I'd rather keep them separate.
Additionally, who has tips on the best way to:
flush an engine contaminated with transmission fluid
flush a 727 transmission contaminated with engine coolant
flush a torque convertor contaminated with engine coolant
