I used the pull and connect method. I also capped off the inlet and outlet of the cooler. I just liked leaving the old hoses the same length and capping the old cooler. No real reason as to why I did it that way other than the fact that I had the barbed connector and some caps.

Well, did the bypass, and I think I was happy with what I saw. What do you guys think? I think I am going to add one of these since I do some towing now and again with my Pathfinder. http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp233/gilldawg79/T620.jpg This is my Tranny Fluid http://i415.photobucket.com/albu...

S and J look more or less the same - I can say from the MANY i've seen, that you can have one or both fluids contaminated. Uncontaminated fluid starts to take on a yellowish hue when it's getting old. it is very obvious when either in contaminated. Also, when you pour trans fluid out of the bottle,...

Took it for a 6-8 mile spin. Shimmy starts around 40 and becomes a little loud hum at around 65-70. Not major at all though. Still feels more like a tire thing. Checked tranny fluid when I returned and it was clear orangy red. More like the color of cherry 7 up. I checked it several times and the si...

This is much easier, and you don't have to buy anything or cut anything! :D just did the bypass. easier done than describing it. but I did not use any additional parts. no coupler, no hose clamp (reuse original), no zip tie. you have 2 hoses - hose A - from external transmission cooler to radiator ...

Truck has a slight shimmy. Tires are balanced. Shifting seems fine. Changing in and out of gears are fine. Although, about 2 mos. ago I had to change u joint. Seems odd to change one of those with only 80,000 miles. Changed it out and problem went away. About a week or ago the truck had a shimmy and...

Assuming I have read all this correctly, I will be disconnecting the two hoses on the bottom of the radiator and connecting them wit a barbed fitting to potentially put it back together if nothing is wrong. However, I believe there is a problem, but I won't know until I disconnect the cooler. If I l...

Will it be or should it be clear, or if contaminated will it be milky hence the milkshake look?

If IT has happened......Wouldn't the transmission fluid mix with the antifreeze and cause discoloration? I My antifreeze is Neon green with no opacity (clear).....However, I just checked my ATF from the dipstick and on a white cloth it is tinted red, but not as red as power steering fluid. I hope I ...
