Re: Plugging A/T lines on replacement TJ radiator???
There is no need to do anything. The transmission cooler is sealed from the
radiator tank, and nothing will leak out of those fittings. Just hook up
the radiator, fill with coolant, and proceed as normal.

I believe that PS operates at a higher pressure than AT. I am not sure that
the radiator AT cooler could take it. If he wants to find out let us
know...

You would, of course, cool the return line which operates at atmospheric.
