Radiator Questions

[Marotta1]

I have a couple radiator questions. Anyone who knows, please feel free to chime in.

Number 1, what is the best way to clean the radiator inside while it is off the car. I'd like to fill it or soak it in something to clean out the inside from scale, rust, gunk, etc.?

Secondly, is the stock 7m-gte oil cooler a better cooler for the auto transmission than what's built in to the stock auto tranny radiator? I'm not using that oil cooler anymore, so I was thinking about using it for the transmission. I just don't know if it would be any more beneficial in terms of greater cooling.

coolant flush would work.... or use some degreaser and then flush out
yes... if your not using the stock oil cooler, then you can use it for your trans

Yeah I guess coolant flush would work off the car as well. Didn't even think of that, lol.

Would the stock oil cooler acutally cool the tranny better than the stock tranny cooler? I don't want to do it if there won't be any benefit.
