auto trans cooler fitting? hard to find.
My car has been leaking trans fluid through the radiator where the trans cooler is. I took the fitting off and looks to be from there. Now the problem is i cannot find the fitting anywhere new. All the ones online and at the local parts store are the same one and too small for the radiator. The size thats a step up is too big. Has anyone found this fitting? It screws on to the radiator and the trans line pushes into it and has a small lock pin. Ill get some pics up in a bit.
only thing is to get a new radiator but i cant justify paying for one when i dont need it.

no need to close the thread, the info here might help others.
ive run into this before, had a cobalt in the shop that had an aftermarket replacement rad and the trans cooler fittings were an odd size and we couldnt get replacements. came down to being a rad from china. end result was the same as what you did, added a trans cooler and bypassed the cooler in the rad.
