The trans fittings that go into the radiator are totally different than stock. Anyone with a Griffin, what fittings do I need to go into the radiator? The stock ones on the trans lines bottom out.

I had the same problem with the Griffin I ordered. I went to a hardware store and got a 5/16 thread with a nipple on the end of it. Had to cut off the old fitting from the tube coming out of the transmission and just jumpered a small piece of (if I remember right) 3/16 inch hose from the line to the fitting in the radiator. It took me going to 4 different stores to find a fitting that would work.

None of the auto stores in my area carried them and then I went to a true value type of store and got one that had longer threads and they even seemed to taper up a bit to provide a tight fit.
