New Radiator - Permatex at Trans Fittings?

[funcrew]

My new plastic-tank radiator came with the brass transmission line fittings loose - I need to screw them into the radiator. Should I use Permatex, some other sealant, or just screw it in metal-to-metal?

Note, I am NOT talking about the transmission line compression fittings.

Thanks!

It won't hurt to use teflon tape. Make sure that you don't get pieces caught in the line where it could get pushed into the transmission.

Brooklyn,

Thanks for the tip. I used teflon and nothing leaks. My wife is happy to have her beloved (by her, not me) X back!
