Hi All
I wondered if anyone knew how the transmission cooler in the radiator header tank is constructed? I have two types, the first, in the radiator I have been using for the last 16 years, appears to be a closed tube running almost the full height of the header tank, see boreoscope pic below:
On a recently purchased recored radiator, there is the same oil cooler connection i.e. two threaded pipes, but internally there appears to be a hollow pipe, running only about half way up the header tank, as below:
I can't work out how the cooler pipes connect to this structure or how the transmission fluid would flow. I have another old radiator that is the same type as the one above, so I might end up cutting it apart to find the answer, but I thought i would check here first.........
