My fiancee's PT was taken to the dealership under extended warranty to replace an automatic transmission that had gone bad. When she picked it up she made it about 5 miles before it over heated and dumped a lot of coolant.
She picked it up saturday and they told her Monday they will check to see if it related the transmission replacement.
I am wondering if the Tranny cooler is integrated into radiator and/or requires purging after an auto tranny install. Common sense tells me it is related.
I need advise to what the dealership needs to do to make it right. I turned the engine over and it didn't sound like she roasted it. (She has no clue to severity of the over-heat).
I am thinking as a precaution they need to replace valve cover gasket, and the thermostat. What do you guys think?
