    Replacing Radiator w/Auto Tragic Tranny

    Could someone post up the radiator replacement thread. I just got another radiator and was told there are only four bolts to it and just remove the hoses. I'm old and blind...ok maybe the first is true...but I still need help with finding the post.

    On mine there are two, IIRC. I have an '88 325is 5-spd, by the way.

    Anyway, you just undo the mounting bolts that are on the top of the radiator. Before you do that, drain the coolant and undo all the hoses attached to the radiator. There should only be two. Remove the fan shroud and it should lift right out.

    Mark: "Didn't you just break a rocker arm?"
    Me: "Yeah, I don't think I've learned my lesson."
    Mark: "You never will."

          Does that mean I also have to replace transmission fluid?
