Tranny fluid in the radiatior looks like pepto bismol (yuck)
Nearly all veichles with automatic transmissions have fluid coolers in the
radiator. Some also have auxilliary coolers in front of the radiator also.
Bypassing the radiator cooler to use an external cooler is not always a good
idea and can ruin the tranny. The failure of coolers in the radiator is
seldom but does happen.
