Re: trans fluid to radiator fitting

I definitely hear what you're saying about the threads being different. And I'm definitely not saying the factory fittings should be used with the new radiator (I think Getter may have gotten me confused with LeddZepp).

If I were you, I'd use a precision caliper to measure the bore, a thread gauge to measure the TPI, and see if I could research an adaptor fitting that used those measurements while also being compatible to the factory fitting on the other end. Essentially, a brass plug that turns the aluminum radiator's fitting into the one you need for the tranny lines.
