Head gasket again?
How do I flush the transmission? As of now, the coolant-tranny fluid mixture has been in there 2-3 days.

Head gasket again?
After searching google, I'm guessing I just need a new radiator. Suggestions for the best place to get one cheap? Also, car heated up to within 1 mm of redline on temp gauge before I shut it off. (only happened once) Think i messed up my heads?

(Yeah it is a stant, all that NAPA would sell me) Radiator could possibly be plugged also as i may have put sawdust-looking sealant in there to try to fix the headgasket leak.

How difficult is it to take the radiator out and where would i get it boiled? I changed the thermostat (again) and it worked great for about two weeks. Then last night, it overheated again (in winter, in montana). Also, one question that will seem stupid to most, which way does the coolant flow. ...
