Radiator Fitting for Transmission fluid corroded off.
Radiator fitting that has tranny fluid broke off.
Had a small leak, gave a little wiggle and the fitting popped off. I’m going to drop it at the Radiator shop. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Joey

My advice is to replace the radiator. If the radiator is old enough that that fitting broke, it's had a good life and it is time to let go and get a new radiator.

That’s the plan- OEM replacement maybe a tranny cooler in the future. I was just hooking up the boat for a day of bass fishing.

Time to replace the radiator. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THAT If it broke off there then it is likely the internal cooler is about to rupture and then you'll have the dreaded pink milkshake to deal with.
