    Every automatic transmission Maverick had cooler lines attached to the radiator. Who knows what someone did to it in the past 38 years though

    Don't drive it without cooling lines....you will burn up the tranny.

    I see that you're in St. Paul. As cold is it is there someone may have just put a jumper line on instead of the trans cooler. That would work for very short trip use only, but I imagine it was done because of a leak and they just wanted to be able to move the car around. :)
