if you know where the leak is, get some JB weld over it after you take the radiator out, it works wonders.

Haha JB weld is insane. Day I got my exhaust on my radiator cracked... of course I took it to the dealer and eventually payed a repair shop about $250 once it was all said and done... even installed a new temp. sensor or some B.S. like that. Whatever at least I have peice of mind... and a warranty. Apparently the plastic radiators crack all the time...

It shouldn't be much problem like that if it's the Rad. alone. wow, it's the first time I've heard that Trany Fluid Entering Radiator as well.

My sister's Camry radiator cracked too at 180,000 miles. They changed the temp sensor also because it senses the temperature to turn on the radiator fan if its gets too hot. Its not that expensive and the temp sensor is like set for like 160-180 F or something like that. When your radiator goes depending on how long you drive it after the temperature goes up it can fry the temp sensor.

Yeh when they told me about it they said that the old one was probably fine but just to be sure that nothing else would go wrong I should go ahead and replace it... Whatever I think it was only $50 for it installed.

As long as your have your registration slip. I think you can get one from the DMV. For little or no money. Since you already paid. I'm sure you aren't the first to get your sticker stolen.
