Hey, so my old radiator basically was already cracked. I put a new coat of J-B stick on to cover the cracks. I just ordered a Silla radiator. Is that all I need to install it? or will I need to order other parts?

more than a minute or 2, on average it takes about 5-10 miles for an auto trans to get its fluid upto operating temp. it can only generate heat through fiction and fluid sheer, which is why the trans cooler also serves to warm the fluid initially and then maintain its temperature at the correct level. running the fluid too cold can accelerate damage to bearings and thrust surfaces since the thicker oil wont flow in a large enough volume to keep it all properly lubed.
