The automatic transmission radiator fitting is an important component of the automatic transmission cooling system. It ensures coolant flows through the radiator, keeping the transmission at optimal operating temperature.
Function of the automatic transmission radiator fitting:
* directs coolant from the transmission to the radiator for cooling
* maintains proper pressure in the automatic transmission cooling system
Signs of a faulty automatic transmission radiator fitting:
* coolant leaks from the fitting
* gearbox overheating
* problems with gear shifting
* noise or vibration in the gearbox

Replacing an automatic transmission cooler fitting is a relatively simple task, but requires some mechanical skill.
Replacement steps:
1. Drain the coolant from the radiator and transmission.
2. Disconnect the hoses going to the fitting.
3. Unscrew the fitting using a wrench.
4. Install the new fitting and tighten it.
5. Connect the hoses and tighten the clamps.
