Any fluid lost by opening the transmission cooler lines is replaced by adding automatic transmission fluid through the automatic transmission dipstick tube near the top right rear of the engine. Check the fluid level with the engine and transmission hot, running and the car level. Do not overfill, add 2-4 ounces at a time wait and recheck.

Ok, so level transmission oil done. Now it s not so hot as before but m'y hose are hard when engine is hot. Is it normal? I wasn't thuning that m'y radiator cap dot not evacuate thé pression inside. Is it possible? Thé hose should be soft ?

Its normal for the radiator hoses to get very hard and hot when the engine reaches full temp. The hoses will stay hard as long as the engine remains hot and there will be pressure inside the radiator. Do not remove the cap when the engine is hot and the hoses are very hard, you will get burned.

Ok so that is normal, that it s going hard After engine as reach temp. I wasn't afraid that it should get to much pressure inside and that could explose. That should be not normal if thé hose Will be soft when it s hot?

The pressure is actually less than 16 pounds. If the hose is soft, there is something wrong like a leak or a bad cap. The pressure raises the boiling point of the coolant higher than 210*.
