the reason to run tranny fluid through the radiator is to ensure the tranny
warms up properly in cold country... probably not a problem for you people
in Texas, but here in Colorado, it can get pretty cold... and when I lived
in Alaska... Ask someone from Fairbanks what they do to prevent problems on
their vehicle from cold... battery blanket, block heater, cab heater, fuel
heater (for diesels)
It's not good for the tranny to run with fluid thats too cool... not enough
flow...
