Replacing Transmission Line

[jman1200]

Hi

The transmission line going to the radiator started leaking, line rusted under the bracket


looking at the parts diagram, it shows two clips that secure the lines to the by-pass valve





My SHO doesn't have these. Has anyone replaced this line or removed the tranny that can provide any guidance?

That is a secondary latch, a safety clip. The retainer is in the circled fitting. You need a special tool to release the retainer.

Thanks for the info.
Is it a matter of inserting the special tool and then pulling the lines?
Do I need to buy 2 of these and do them at the same time or can I just buy one? The ones you shared don't ship to Canada and Amazon.ca wants almost $70 for 2. Found a local website that sells them separately.


I read the workshop manual but it doesn't provide any details on how to use the tool similar to the one you shared.




To install the new ones, is it just a matter of pushing them in?

Found this video, so its pushing the tool in, then the hose in and out, right?

Reviving this thread as i just found my trans lines are also rusted thru. Did you ever figure out which tool works the best? Also is the part number #
