do i need to purchase anything else with this radiator? (radiator cap? thermostat?)

also if someone can please let me know what do i need to tell the mechanic if there is glycol in the transmission do i tell them to do a double flush? triple transmission fluid flush?

I am hoping rockauto is legit site, thanks all

Rock Auto is legit and you will be fine....used them in the shop many times in a jam.

good chance your tranny is already done or soon will be if the fibers in the clutches got contaminated with glycol. There is no drain on the torque converter on these cars, so you will need to probably flush twice. You can save a lot of money by buying the fluid on ebay or amazon yourself and just paying shop labor. do NOT use any universal fluid that says 'suitable for mercedes' like Valvoline maxlife. Only use an approved spec fluid like shell 134.

thanks for the replies, so NISSEN 62796A that model that i posted above will it work for the E55 AMG 2003 or is it the wrong model? and do i need the radiator cap and thermostat too?

How long was the radiator screwed,carguyshu is right,usually cross contamination will eventually cause the trans clutches to delaminate, hopefully yours won't ,good luck

Are you using ATF 134? If so, you can get the fluid from a local shell distributor. That's usually cheaper than Amazon or eBay. I think you missed the Autozone clearance, they had some Pentosin ATF fluid that met ATF 134 spec for $2 a quart. The shell distributor is more like $5 a quart as the last time I got a case of 12 quarts for around $60. Online it's typically around $9-$10 and the dealer is sometimes $20 a quart. The site only lists headquarters, check each distributor as each one may have multiple sites in your state.
