I replaced the upper one, but my lower trans line is rusted and I want to replace it. It's rusted together with the quick disconnect fitting on the radiator so I need to replace the fitting as well. Do you have to do this as well?
Yes...i replaced all fittings and quick connects. I was lucky enough to get them with the lines i bought off ebay...i got a good deal $75 for all 3 lines and connections. I guess it was a salvage guy i got them from. I didnt wanna screw up my disconnect tool so i just snapped the line and put a 27mm socket on it!
Great, that's just what I wanted to know. Now all I have to worry about is that the threaded end of the fitting is rusted into the radiator. I have the line and fitting sitting in the garage but I've been putting it off for a while. I'll do it when I change my trans fluid and filter. Thanks
Gives me some confidence because yours were worse than mine are. Did you have clearance issues removing the lower fitting? I was worried about breaking the radiator or screwing up the female threads when removing the fitting. I know the upper line is high pressure and the lower line is return (lp) so the lower is much less likely to leak anyway.
