Would someone please comment on methods of flushing a B&M, or any other transmission cooler? That would be: What fluid to use? What to use for a pump? Do you pump new trans fluid thru after pumping solvent thru? Any help/correct methods would be appreciated. Thanks.

Can anyone out there help me out w/cleaning & flushing out a trans cooler? Thanks. WJ. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

I would flush it with it with fluid and not solvent.

If it is a normal service, just Ghetto flush it along with the tranny. With the fluid fully warmed up, disconnect the output side and aim it in a bucket. Run the car until you have dumped a few quarts of clean fluid through it.

If you really have a ton of crap in a plate type cooler because something fell apart, I'd consider getting a new one depending upon the mess.

 

Thanks Ragtop. WJ.

 

There is a aftermarket Tranny Flush available in a spray can. I have used it before.. wish I would have wrote down the name.. haven't seen it again since I moved to Maryland.

 

Hi John. A person reccomended spray brake cleaner....What do you think? WJ. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

I would check with a good tranny guy about that first. I'm not one by any stretch. Just an abuser <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

Both Mike @ Yank and a local tranny shop recommend a LubeGard product called "Kooler Kleen".

 

Thanks everyone. WJ. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
