A good parts house will have an aersol can product for flushing out the tranny lines.
I use a piece of 1/4" braided steel cable, like they use for garage doors for running thru the tubing to make sure it's clear. In high temp areas like by the exhaust the ATF can carbonize, and restrict the ATF flow. Using the cable gets that out. You might have to use some carb cleaner with the cable in bad cases. Even with all the care in the world there's no guarantee to get 100% of the garbage out, but taking your time, and doing the above is the best I know of.

Cooler cleaner??
The ONLY correct way to clean the cooler is to replace it..either w/ a new part installed in the rad, or w/ an externally mounted cooler. [The external is more effective anyway.]
The contamination WILL NOT wash out completely.....

Some great advice. If you do not do it as he has suggested, the next trans to go in is doomed from the get go. As usual, Chuck is on the ball....  Bruce WE4 PTS XTREME

You do not have to cut anything
Our coolers come with the fittings so there is no need to cut anything.
Not to worry. Bruce WE4 PTS XTREME
