Long story short, I have bypassed the radiator to cool the trans, but did not plug the transmission holes in the radiator...

Just wondering if it will be okay to plumb up it back up through the radiator again (unplugged for 2 years)

I dont know if Im worrying to much and a good flush is all thats needed?
Basically Im asking can that part of the radiator be stuffed since Ive had no fluid going through it, and in a way exposed to the elements??

Thanks Joe

SO why are wanting to use the stock cooler again ? has the other cooler failed ? My concern would be dust and crap that has built up over those 2 years, and if you connect it back up, you could have sand etc end up going through your transmission. if you want to use it again, you would have to give it a good almighty hard flush.
