Pink foam in rad. and trans.If I replace radiator,then before hooking cooler lines back up to rad. ;run them to a 50 gal drum. fill trans back up ,start and idle while pouring more trans fluid in.Would this work to flush transmission?

yes put the return line in a bucket of transmission fluid that is clean, and put the out line into a clean pale to collect it. keep adding more trans fluid in the return line untill clean new fluid comes out of the other line. that will sucessfuly flush the system.
