This is slightly off topic since it pertains to my Nissan, but it may be applicable to Toyotas.

The radiator pictured below is from an automatic transmission Nissan. However, my Nissan (same model) is a standard, and doesn't have the bung on the end tank. What would you say is the best method to close it off? I have taken the nut off at the base of the bung, but it does not come off.




Thanks.

 

Some chewing gum and super glue should do the trick! Seriously now... Do you know what the "bung" is used for ? I know in my jeep we put a transmission for an automatic in it and its a stick. Did run into anything like this though.. If you find out what its for you might have a place to run a hose from it.. If not i would just find something to block it off with that will hold the pressure. Like welding it shut if you have access to a welder. Or eh maybe some jb weld ? I am not sure how that stuff will hold to pressure though.

 

APC,

There should be two of those bungs on that radiator. It's the ends of an internal coil that is used to cool the ATF. The ATF runs through the coil and transfers its heat to the water surrounding it. As long as nothing has been damaged, there is no fluid transfer.

Normal procedure is to simply ignore those fittings and install the radiator. No harm will come of this.

 

Yeah,What he said !
