Transmission issues after replacing radiator

[CumminsFever]

Is it possible that the trans cooler on the new radiator is plugged, thereby causing these symptoms?
I know nothing of how the trans would react to a plugged cooler, just a thought I had reading the thread.

Not likely - plugged coolers/lines typically starve the rear gear train causing it to eat itself in short order (ie within one drive cycle).

The main reason I provide a separate sheet to customers that screams "Flush your lines and coolers before installation!". Most are aware but some are not so reduces risk for me and the customer.

You can get a new seal for the VSS dirt cheap. My son's '94 had the same leak.
