oil cooler fitting
I got a radiator and my question is what size and where do I buy it. I cannot get my old fittings off and wondering if anyone has a link on where to buy the correct ones (top and bottom fittings).

Get rid of those stupid things and replace them with barbed fittings and some rubber transmission hose and worm clamps. Done, and no more fighting with those poorly designed quick-connects that are only good for speeding up the factory assembly line.

I'm with BlueRidgeMark. those always tend to leak at some point. The thread that goes into the radiator is a NPT (national pipe taper) thread. I'm not sure what size but you may run into a problem when going to reassemble, those fitting. thread into the cooler thought the plastic tank. There is a very high possibility that you make leak coolant, trans fluid or both, there is also the possibility that there could be coolant mixing with the trans fluid. You may be better off leaving them and just installing an external cooler.
