New Radiator

Yesterday i bought the new radiator and it is now set up, this is another step to the final exsorcism!!!

Now i'll wait to see what they broke while installing it. Oh!!! new Brake PAds too, so maybe i'll have some problems over there.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Alex.

Thanks Framos,

Well it seems the radiator is working great, my temp is lower than usually with the old one, the brake pads are OK, now i used to have a small leak on the steering pump, but now is bigger, i'll check it this days.

Now, the new theory of my mechanic about my tranny hesitation is that my upper mounts are worn, and it is ture they are worn, i've read some topics about changing just the rubber. Well my question is, this worn mounts can really affect the tranny performance?, the engine hesitates when shifting, and this is more when it is cold.

Thanks

Check the steering pump.

Yes, change the tranny mounts.

Ok.

Framos...you're sharp today...

Who ever installed your tranny shoulda noticed that the mounts were worn.

He noticed the low mounts and i buy them, but not this dog bones, that how you call the upper ones right??

The dog bones are the two mounts that go from the core support to the motor.

Thanks Herc, but it is neccesary to buy the whole piece?, i mean the rubber and the metal?, or can i just find the rubber and insert it??
I saw the part number and it seems the whole piece

Yes you can buy just the bushings. You can get either the standard rubber or an upgrade to Poly. Be warned with the Poly you might have a little more vibration inside the cab. But you gain a little performance out of it because you are putting more power to the wheels instead of trying to twist the motor out of it's mounts.

Ok, i'll see if i can find the standard or the upgrade this side of the Bravo River!!

Alex,

I would suggest the Poly mounts. Herc is right about the vibration inside the cabin. But, it'll be worth it. Come this spring, I'll change them to Poly mounts.
