Default Re: Fitting replacement radiator with broken transmission lines

DO NOT START THE ENGINE. If you start the engine transmission fluid will flow out of the banjo fittings. You are already low on transmission fluid and you will burn the clutches in the transmission making a rebuild likely. The A/C doesn't matter as you have already lost all the refrigerant just be certain the A/C and heater controls are shut off.

You can turn the ignition on and place the car in neutral and push/pull it the short distance, but DO NOT start the engine unless those banjo fittings are connected to the radiator.
