So I found that my top connection to the transmission cooler is still leaking. I was wondering if you thought that maybe Teflon tape may help seal it off? Or what are your other suggestions? I really want to avoid getting a whole new radiator but if I must then oh well so be it

As long as you're careful not to get any tape inside the line, it can't hurt. I would give it a shot.

Well I just redid my connections without Teflon tape and now they won’t screw in without being cross threaded.... thank god for the lifetime warranty I suppose.

If it weren't for bad luck, you wouldn't have any luck at all. Sorry to hear about that.
