radiator replacement: 95 Accord EX Auto
I am doing a radiator replacement on a 95 Accord EX automatic. I've done
many standard shift radiators, but very few automatics. There is a transmission oil cooling circuit running through the radiator. When I disconnect the oil lines, will tranny oil pour out of a line(s)? Should I plan on plugging these lines while I remove the radiator? If I lose much oil, is topping off the auto trany as easy as pouring the correct oil into the dipstick tube, or is there a more complicated fill procedure? I'm hoping the oil lines are empty with the engine off. Can anyone let me know what I'm in for? thanks, Andy |
