[QUOTE="Bill Ellis, post: 556119, member: 59929"] Very Tacky trancblack. Very tacky. Well, back to the drawing board. The flow rate of the exiting fluid is not sufficient to run the motor/turn the pump; at least not at idle rpm. It appears that the flow rate through the radiator is quite low for the tranny; it's steady, but no where near "gusher" velocity. Also, it appears that the line going from the tranny to the upper radiator connection is the "to the cooler" line. I thought that it was just opposite. Did use clear hose so I could see flow. Also, after about 32K miles fluid still looks new, red and clear, no vivible particles. Haven't given up though. I'll think about this some more and tinker around in a few weeks. For now don't have time...getting house ready for new family...bride and her children. Also, footings just got poured for new house. My son-in-law is director of construction at the builder and he said house could be done by February so now have to really get the one I'm in ready for market. Gonna be a busy fall, no time for science projects; just "Honey-do's". [/QUOTE]
