Next fun part is how much zf fluid I will lose/need to refill after new radiator is in, I have a couple of bottles of fluid for it and thinking I should go all the way and flush the zf at the same time. Fun job from what I've been reading.

They have a heat exchanger that runs coolant through it, but is a separate component to the radiator. Sits off the side of the engine under the starter motor. Follow the lines off the transmission to find it.

As luck would have it, here is a picture I took of mine on Friday, where it belongs!

(I did an external cooler a while back, and finally unplumbed the heat exchanger from the cooling system as I was doing a coolant flush,)ad258067bfe52e547eb15f2f4e593232.jpg

The BTR 4 speeds did that, but not the ZF. So would be possible to buy a BF radiator with a trans cooler in it (to suit models with the BTR), which makes it confusing!

If you bought one with transmission ports in it, just leave them disconnected.
