Just as it says. I took the transmission out today to have it look at by a buddy that work at the local transmission shop. But one thing i wanna know is how the hell did this happen? I looked at a few caddys around the same year as mine and both of the tranny lines are not in the Radiator like mine where. None of theme run to the trans cooler in the front. And the other thing i wanna know is that can i run the transmission lines to a heavy duty transcooler for temp use if my Radiator is shot, i dont have the $200+ for a new Radiator as of right now and my father said the car has to be moved this weekend.

year, model, engine, etc ?

something here makes no sense to me,.

to get it moved, do whatever it takes including bypassing intake/outgoing hoses to the trani.
but dont take a trip to the Indy raceway until you do the right things.

it should do fine for an easy going drive.

You can bypass the radiator and use an aux cooler.
You will need to seal off the trans cool portion of the radiator if it has been leaking internally.
