Finally got the lower transmission cooler line connected. After tightening a couple loose hose clamps, I started it up and it’s far quieter than it was with the flex fan! So far, no sign of coolant leaks around the thermostat housing but there is not much coolant in it either. Before running it I thought I saw the hint of a leak but running it, nothing appeared.
Also, I found why the fan is not aligned by anything, which is that it isn’t the proper pump. All my other pumps are identical to the one in the car so it was a puzzle until I found the one below which is noticeably longer compared to the one in the lower photo which is like the one in the car.
Who does water pump rebuilding these days and will I have to take out the radiator again to replace it?
