whats a good driveway method of flushing out the radiator and tranny coolers to make sure no old debris winds up in my new transmission? i thought of using brake kleen and an air compressor, but im looking for ideas. :exp:

im gonna run 2 coolers from superdutys to try and keep the new tranny cool.

I would just take it to a shop and have them do it.
 






You can buy a can of flush made specially for this purpose for about $10. Has the "right stuff" and enough power to do the job. Any trannie parts house should have it, costs about $10. I'll post a pic later.

The air compressor idea will help blow the lines empty after using the Trans Flush Glacier991 suggested! The air pressure from the compressor should be regulated down to around 30 psi otherwise you will blow trans fluid all over the place!
 






Cool Glacier. I never knew that existed. I just used regulated air.
 






i didnt know it existed either, but we have it at work. thanks for the replys.
