Have issues with overheating and couldn't find out why... bought an after market radiator but also didn't have tyranny lines.. was told to purchase a trans cooler because the radiator is for a manual transmission... hope this solves my issue.. while I was at in decided to replaces all hoses ,however as ture sensors.. head , head gasket, geesh practically the whole car..... what u guys think??

Re: Overheating

Did you do it properly? Did you use an OEM gasket?

Re: Overheating

Was it OEM?
Did you get the head checked at a machine shop?

Re: Overheating

use the tests in the videos in the 1st post.

if you can't do the test, have a shop do it.

if it does not pass, the previous gasket/head were not good and need a redo
