OTW Back-flush

1282 Views 5 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  woodnthings8
Does anybody have any suggestions on back flushing my OTW portion of my radiator? I know some have said they have just used clean ATF fluid, a friend suggested using mineral spirits to clean up the gunk and help clear it out of there. I know that stuff is flammable and I would have to flush it back out with ATF fluid again. Any other product suggestions? Thanks

Check your auto parts stores or local transmission shops. They usually have transmission cooler flush in a can, nothing more than a pressurized can of solvent with a hose, but works good. I use it when rebuilt a BMW transmission and I wanted to flush the cooler before hooking up the trans.

Afterwards I run a couple quarts of transmission fluid through the cooler to flush any remaining solvents left over.
