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.

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.

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.
