I just bought a Hayden performance transmission cooler from advanced....I have a general idea of what I need to do but I cant locate the hot line from the cold line on the radiator....my car is a mtx and i cant just put it in drive to let the line get hot and check.....does anybody know which line is hot and which is cold to save me from having to drive around the block..lol
its a 04 sxt mtx

 

i just drove it aroundthe block a few times and still cant really identify which of the two oil lines going to the radiator is hott or cold anybody know or got a haynes book you could tell me???

 

i don't know anything about neons, but if all else fails just take both lines loose, start car (maybe shift), and see which one pumps fluid out.

okay.....and the one that pumps the fluid out would be...the hot or the cold???

 

hot.

 

goodness....i dont even see a good place to do that....the lines are welded onto the side of the radiator....im trying to pull the radiator out right now...gah...

 

okay so i studied up the instruction some more.....i could do this thing if i just knew which hoses were what on the neon and I dont even see a coolant hose/line going to the transmission!!!! but in the instructions it says connect the one side to the quick connect on the radiator and the other side to the transmission....so i wonder if that **** coming off one of the lines right next to the radiator is the quick connect??? -03neonRT- any ideas???

 

right now i just need to get the radiator out but came seem to pull it out....i took the upper mounts off and slid it off the bottom mounts...should i dissconect the radiator hoses...(i was hoping i wouldnt have to..)

 

DAMNIT YO!!!!!!!! no wonder i couldnt figure out how to install it....i was just told that they are only used on automatics i have a manual....GAH!!!!!

 

damn. all that for nothing. I need to get a trans cooler for mine
