Quick questions about AT radiator install! Help!


So my girlfriend decided she would let her Mustang GT taste a curb. MMMMM yummy!

She wrecked he front bumper and the lower portion of her radiator.

I am in the process of replacing the radiator right now, but I am having an issue with the damn AT transmission lines! The holes on the radiator do not have anything for the flared end of the trans. line to sit against! Help!

Any suggestions on a fix? She needs her car tomorrow in order to drive up to her grandparents house.

the new radiator should've came with fitting that screw into it, then the lines screw into that. If it didnt, take them out of the old radiator

Well, the fitting is there, however, I don't think the trans line is sealing with the fitting properly. It's leaking between the line and the nut.

Any suggestions? Maybe an adapter piece by chance?

Edit: F8L GT, I appreciate the quick reply!!!

Figured out the problem. The radiator didn't have the correct seat for the double flared trans line, causing it to leak. I will be in contact with the manufacturer. My g/f ended up taking my Lightning for the weekend. :sad:
