So here's a quick update. Turns out the NEW (and when I say new, I mean new in the box) radiator was indeed faulty. The mechanic who looked at it said that they missed a braize in it and it was allowing the trans. fluid to mix with the coolant, hence toasting my transmission.
Got the new transmission in, trans runs nice, it's still a little jerky when shifting from 1st to 2nd if you're going real slow. Maybe the shift sensor that I've read so much about on the forum, who knows. If you take off from a stop at a decent clip it shifts nice and smooth.
So we can add a new trans. to the long list of replaced parts in the last few months. But it's getting better. Next up. ball joints etc.
