Thanks everyone!
I was wondering if these coolers corrode through, many cars do!
I'll watch it next time I drive and organise parts. At least the transmission cooler is fairly easy to get to, I'll do a flow test first and might pull the cooler off with the system full and see how much coolant falls out... Will let me know if it's flowing in radiator and if the cooler is blocked.
I know I'm eventually going to need tools like that, so I'll order that anyway!
I've already got shudder fix in the gearbox... Makes a difference while it's cool, but not when hot... contributing factor is probably that the gearbox appears to be getting too hot... So I'll fix that first.
I spoke to a tranny expert about it and as it isn't slipping and engages well, he said leave it and just wait until it's shift pattern starts to change then bring it in for a full rebuild and new TC...
Little bits at a time
