Loosen one cooling line at the radiator, and let the fluid drain into a pan. When the fluid has stopped draining remove the other end of the hose. Pull the hose out and put the new one in following the same path. Do the same for the other hose, then refill the transmission using the dipstick to make sure to not over flow the system. Check the fluid level and all fittings after a short drive.
Cooler lines should fit.Check and see if you have a 904 or 727 transmission. It should work fine, Good luck.
These are cooler lines, the fluid flows in them from the transmission to the cooler in the radiator or auxiliary cooler then back on most vehicles to help in keeping the transmission from overheating ASE certified tech / L1
First drain it from the drain cock, then unbolt the fan shroud and remove it (this may require you to remove the water pump fan), next remove the radiator hoses (top and bottom), remove the overflow hose, undo the transmission cooler lines (for automatic transmissions only). Now you can unbolt the radiator and lift out. Installation is reverse of removal.
Not knowing the make or the model it is impossible to guess. Generally you would have to change the radiator, run the transmission lines and change out flywheel and possibly driveshaft. With older cars (early hydramatics, for example), you do not have to change the radiator and there ae no transmission lines, but in addition to changing the flywheel and driveshaft, you also have to add the linkage to the carburetor. You might need to change the ECM (computer) and you may be able to put in an oil cooler instead of changing the radiator. Another way to go would be to contact your local automotive junk yard and purchase a wrecked vehicle that is the same as yours except automatic. The vehicle would need to be damaged in a way that doesn't effect the parts you are interested in. You would then have everything needed to swap over including peddle assembly, steering column or console, linkages, wiring, switches, crossmember, flywheel, driveshaft, correct speedometer gears, cooling lines, radiator and so on.
Yes it can be done, but at what cost? Keep in mind it is much more than just swapping out the trans itself. You will have to change out the computer and wiring harness if your vehicle is 96+. You will also obviously need the pedal set, flywheel, clutch, slave cyliner, clutch master cylinder, hydralic lines, new driveshaft. I did it in a 96 1500 with a 4.3, and had to buy a truck for parts just to make it justifiable price wise.
if you are asking about the cooling lines for the transmission that connect to the radiator, its easy. first disconnect the lines from the radiator (2 lines, usually on the bottom opposite the radiator outlet) then disconnect the lines from the transmission. remove the brackets holding them on, then remove.
I had a similar problem and ended up replacing both the lines and the radiator.
The best fix is to replace them they are available and not that difficult to install.
You need to replace the quick disconnect. Special tools are required to separate the joint without doing damage. Those lines are transmission cooling lines that bring the ATF to and from the cooler.
Cooling lines from transmission to radiator?
The 2 lines that come from the transmission and go to the radiator are full of transmission fluid and the radiator is what cools it.
Pinched or blocked transmission cooling lines
there are two metal looking lines that screw into the radiator that is the cooling side
The cooling radiator needs to be used to keep the oil from overheating. If the lines are plugged, the engine could be ruined.
if you have an automatic transmission there should be cooling lines going to the radiator to cool the transmission fluid the lines could be leaking or the tank could be leaking
These are HIGH pressure cooling lines; make sure you replace them with the SAME quality lines or they will rupture and leave you stranded. You often need a flare nut wrench set to remove them as they can be very tight. If they are just barely seeping I would not replace them ,but if in fact they are LEAKING then you need to update them.
They are on the passanger side of the transmission, They come out of the side of the trans and run up the side of the engine and hooks to the RADIATOR. Just follow the lines from the transmission. There are 2 of them.
