Nickoli Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Quick question during a radiator install. I assume they are ports for the transmission or something. These two shiny silver ports have no home on my car, should I cap them? If so, what's the best way to go about it? Remove them and screw in a plug or just plug them with the silver pipe connected? I'm driving an ea82 non turbo 5sp dr wagon, weberized, no ac and manual steering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Those 2 tubes are for the automatic transmission cooler. I'd just put rubber caps on them. I've seen them in hardware stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickoli Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Perfect! That's what I was assuming. Thanks a ton Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Yep, aftermarket companies don't bother making a separate part without the trans cooler. They usually come capped. It's a sealed cooler, so it doesn't "need" to be capped, but it's certainly a good idea to keep crap out of there. Lots of ways to get caps, Dorman makes a multi-pack of different sized caps that can usually be had in the "Help" section of most auto parts stores for a few bucks.
