So i just finished changing my radiator and my transmission cooler is the same as my radiator. 1.I have worries since the lines that go into the radiator are a bit easy to turn on the inlet. Should i be worried?2.How can i reduce the slippage?3.I took off the fan cover from behind the radiator would that cause any problems or its just fine?4. Lastly the radiator was about 1/4 thicker than the old one.. Any problems or its just fine and better for the car?5. i know the fan needs changing at this millage because of all the crackage!Thanks for any input!!!

All bets are off when you use non standard sized components.

Fan shroud and the rad foam and solid rubber surround are critical to performance.

You will only know when the rad inlet air reach 140F [ac on] in exterme summer whether you have wasted your time money in installing a rad system that functions poorly.

Good luck and let us know next July in the desert how you are doing!
