For future DIYers.

I tore in to it tonight after learning there is both a middle and front section to the same part number. And ordering the ‘special’ tool allegedly required for the job which consisted of what appears to be a small piece of plastic to release the compression/crimp fittings. Had the plastic overnighted and it was a waste. Trans lines had swelled with corrosion (hence the leak) and the plastic tool was useless.

I did not raise engine but I might have to. Had to cut old lines to get them out and the line harness is secured to the frame in a fantastically located one click spot that I can barely reach. Full mechanics tools might help but dear god that sucked. Cuts were made so no turning back now. Old lines are out and the new line install fun begins tomorrow.

well if you get in a real bad spot remember these are low PSI lines so you can cut them and use transmission hose and clamps

I usually like to put a little of flare on the end for the hose clamp

 

Thanks for the tip. That sounds much easier than the engine lift!

It can be done without lifting engine. I did have to cut the coupler that held the two lines together but they went in after that. Don’t like the idea of them bouncing around but not much I can do.

Did you feed from rear or from front?
