okay well I took my motor out and put it back in and didnt pay attention (stupid) but the lines that go into the transmission that keep it cool I think that I have them reversed and so now its throwing the manufacture control transmission code is throwing and i read that it can be caused by overheating the transmission so I thought that could be the problem so if any one could tell me how to know which go where that would be helpful

Oh I forgot it a 97 2.2 cavalier 3 speed

top line on the trans to top line on the rad.
bottom on trans to bottom on radiator. at least thats how it was on my 96.........

Get all the parts you need in a pile, and drive the car into it.
They will find their way into the correct places.

That's how they usually are.

I doubt that switching them would cause it to overheat anyway, all the cooler is is a brass (usually) tube that runs through the radiator side tank. It may run a few degrees warmer than intended because it's going though slightly warmer water on it's way out of the cooler, but I wouldn't expect that to cause a problem.
