Nige...
Its easy... i`m no where convinced of the rad is perfect, from what i can see in the gauges and looking inside by the filler cap, i´m convinced the rad is clean enough for a 30 Yr machine. Coolant is now @ 80ºC, where before the rough clean was 100ºC.
I can´t say the same from the TXM heat exchanger, at the moment we see overheating, wich can be from a problem in the TXM, or the heat exchanger clogged.
We want to start by cleaning the Exchanger, wich is much, much more pratical. It might bring us to the point of working a full morning without shifting problems.
The Rad will be cleaned throughly when we have time to stop it , in the winter, right now we need it to be going.
The same goes for the TMX shifting problems, when we got time to stop it , we´ll fix it.
What might be simple for u, after so many years dealing with those CAT´s its not a easy task for us, we don´t know the systems from heart and the implications of every sub system has on the performance.
I´m pretty sure controling the overheating won´t solve our shifting problems, but i´m positive it might help. Later on, step by step w´ll be able to tackle all problems , with your help and others ofcourse.
