Replaced tranny sensor and radiator
Just wanted to tell everyone that both jobs are very doable for the inexperienced DIY'er.
I ordered the stock radiator from B.A. ($279.00) and it only took me about three hours to install it. No issues with getting the fan off or refilling and bleeding the system either. Best thing I learned was to remove the battery box and airbox to gain access vs what the RAVE tells you to do. This will also give you the opportunity to clean up both boxes while they are off. FYI, the air box is removed by jerking it up and out. It is held in place by plastic feet through rubber grommets. Also, to remove your fan pick up a 36mm open end wrench, paid $11.00 for mine at Northern Tool. I also bought a blow-up kiddie pool at Wallyworld for $5 bucks and used it to catch the coolant that dumped out.
I learned everything on this forum and it saved me several hundred bucks!
Also, thanks to British Atlantic for the price matching and great service!
