Ok, the top line goes to transmission, as does the bottom line. They are connected at the transmission and the other end is connected at the cooler to create a path for the transmission fluid to flow through without losing fluid. One is connected at the top and one is connected at the bottom. I hope you understand this, since your question makes no sense to me.

Put a new radiator on 3 days ago...transmission fluid is in the anti-freeze..

It sounds like you got a bad radiator! Or your transmission got hot enough before you replaced the radiator to rupture the cooling jacket.

A Jimmy runs pretty hot, so I always recommend the separate transmission cooler to help with the engine and transmission cooling problems of the Jimmy.

I have a 92 ford f250 with a 460 and E40D backing it up. what would cause the tranny to over heat

Hello, You could have several problems. The Radiator can be clogged for the transmission cooling lines. The internal filter in the trans could need cleaning. Your rear Emergency brakes could be dragging. Check for missing heat shields on the Catalytic converters which if gone, could be toasting your trans.

Add a transmission cooler to the system. The aftermarket also has several trans pan upgrades having cooling fins or cooling tubes built into them.

There are several reports of trans failure with 1 owner replacing 7 transmissions. This is about all I can supply for you at this time. I hope my info is very helpful.

New tranny in my 92 ssei now it has tranny fluid in the rad ???????

The transmission and engine are there own entities. Unfortuantly the radiator in some vehicles cool the tranny fluid. Its possable when the coolant lines were disconnected from the transmission or from the radiator, the seal was broken on the radiator where the line goes in from the radiator, so you wont see it because its internal. This will allow trans fluid to enter into the radiator. Be careful with trans fluid mixed with the coolant may cause engine damage. Your solution to the problem if this is infact the source would mean replacing the radiator, if you do this be sure to flush the coolant system to rid trans fluid.

Removing the transmission cooling line fron

These lines just run straight through the radiator to provide cooling. You can bypass the radiator by adding a transmission fluid cooler, during the cold weather in a pinch, a replacement transmission hose with 2 clamps can be connected between the 2 transmission lines to correct leakage, but in warm weather, the fluid suffers if it doesn't get the benefit of a cooler.

Aftermarket coolers are relatively inexpensive, especially compared to the long term benefit of keeping the fluid degrees cooler, prolonging the life of the trans.

good luck

My transmission line that connects to the radiator

The easiest fix is to get a transmission fluid cooler & use it to replace the fan connection completely. Basically you'll just shorten your lines a bit to clamp a hose over them & connect both lines to the 2 lines on the cooler. the cooler installs onto the front of the radiator with push through connectors that makes it easy to install & it will provide you even better trans. cooling in the warm months.

I have seen people use just a hose to connect the 2 lines & not have any problem in the cooler months but you really do need the trans fluid cooled during the warmer months to prevent trans damage.

check you fluid & top it off properly after making the repair!

Good Luck
