Thank you for not adding a bunch of unnecessary video and bs comments about your dog your wife and your beer and your neighbor and how you got to cut your lawn and then you zoom back in to do your work thank you for reading out the BS and giving us the straight and narrow excellent information
He looks like “Red” from that 70s show!!!!!
Dumb 🍑
Damnit...put the clip back on, then put the line in. I wish I knew that yesterday. I'm glad I know it today.
Wasn't sure if I could snap the line back in with the clip in place or not. I skimmed video titles until I saw one that was only 2:05". Knew it was just what I needed, straight to the point! Thank you 👌
Yes you can install line with clip in place= the best way to do it. You will hear a click when line slips past clip = seated and retained.
Well, The lesson that i have learned is i'm going to start watching youtube videos before i get into a project... If i only seen this video about 4 days ago, I wouldn't have had to buy complete lines because i didn't know it had clips... destroyed the bolts and lines... Well Lesson Learned. Awesome Video brother... Thanks!!
Thanks so much for showing me the correct way to remove and install the line. Ive been on side of road most of the day because I thought the clip was seated but wasn't.... not fun when its 95 degrees outside and you've lost all your fluid on the Road!!
Professional Mechanic trying to save money. Appreciate you videos immensely. Structure is succinct and concise will good examples and no fluff. Keep em coming.
👍😊
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. The line on my 2002 GMC Sierra came off yesterday causing the fluid to leak out and stranding me on the side of the road.
Just thought I'd throw this in for anyone having issues with these when replacing the radiator. What can be done is to unthread the fitting while it is still attached to the line. The back of the fittings just have an O-ring behind them. On the new radiator only unscrew one fitting at a time. The fittings keep the transmission cooler inside the tanks of the radiator from falling inside the tank. Unscrew one new fitting then place the new o ring from the new fitting onto the back of the old fitting after removing the old o ring first of course. Then re-thread the old fitting into the cooler and then do the second one the same way. You can do top or bottom first it doesn't matter but make absolutely sure not to add coolant to the new radiator until you have swapped the fittings and properly tightened them back up to the radiator or you chance getting coolant inside the transmission lines and transmission itself. This is not the preferred method but I have done this when working on a job where a parts store isn't close by because I have had times in the past where the W clip fell from my grasp when trying to reinstall it and I never could find it. Driving without that clip is not an option as the line will most definitely blow out and leak out all of the transmission fluid out. Just my 2 cents.
Just lost the ones to my CHEVY MALIBU MAXX ‼️ Where it went🤷 I'll try your technique next time.Thanks
Very smart!!! Those JESUS clips Get most easy.
JESUS CLIP= a clip that when it flys only JESUS knows where it went!!
This saved me so much time, I could not find this on any other UA-cam video. Many thanks
👍😊 You’re welcome Doug!
Thank you! Just did my radiator & my lower trans line came off. Now I know what I did wrong.
Thank you!!! Clear and straight to the point.
BAD
ASSS !! superior EXPLANATION!!! GOOD JOB SIR!
👍😊
Excellent video. I suppose you must remove a couple of other lines to acquire that degree of open access for your hands to work with the transmission line joinery. I cannot get my hands around a 2012 Buick LaCrosse 2.4 trans line going into the top area of the radiator.
This was incredibly helpful! Thanks!!!!!
Thank u so much .God bless you.Great help.I thought u had to put line in and then reinstall clip.
Thank you for making it so simple.
You’re welcome Moe! 👍😊
Thank you exactly what I needed I was doing it incorrectly
i used a self tapper screw. thanks for the great video!!
You used a self tapper for what?
@@mach55r no idea bro
Thank you for your video,Hi.from Puerto Rico. thanks again for the video,,,👍👍👍
I have had my loqer pressure cooler line blow out of the coupler twice.
I made sure won't happen 3rd time adjusted the bracket at the cooler lines to hold tension even with the clip our.
Thanks a lot for this video instruction!
👍😃
On the 4L80e you have to remove the clip on the one that goes to your radiator. The bend is so tight where it enters the tranny that the tool they have can not make it in the remove tension on the e clip. I just cut it and unscrewed it from tranny and then worked on it out from under the vehicle, then screwed fitting back in with the e clip already installed.
Very helpful, Thank You!
Yep, discovered this yesterday - didn't need any tools afterall.
👍😊
Thanks for your help!
Has anyone had any luck in finding just the clip for sale? Mine is missing, but the actual fitting is still good. All I can find for sale is the whole fitting, where it goes into the transmission. (2008 Cadillac DTS) By the way, thanks for the quick video that gets right to the point.
Call Cadillac dealer parts department
Junkyards
Better get a GM factory clip from parts or junkyard. I just swapped a radiator in S-10 p.u. of course I lost the clips. The new clips that came with my new radiator didn't fit properly. The Dorman brand in a kit from the parts store ($15!!) didn't fit properly either. Issue was that when fully seated, they were too big on the O.D. and the plastic retainer would not slip over the clips.
Does anyone know which is the return line to the transmission? Great video BTW I can see that clip going flying without your advice.
Thanks again
They use to use these clips in the old. Wind up window handles
👍😊
Be careful, could be a trap
Close, but, not quite
Good video, thanks for sharing. Being an amateur garage mechanic my question is whether the trans fluid will escape once the line is pulled from the radiator. Do I need to temporarily plug the lines (with what? a wad of plumbers putty over the end of the line seems reasonable!)
Stuff a clean rag inside the opening. Not putty!
Thanks, great video & to the point. You rock !
👍😊
Awesome video thanks
Thank you, thank you!!!!!!
Thanks
Thank you sir 😊very helpful
Very helpful thanks
Thanks you for the great vidoes
thank you brother
U dont even need to remove the clip. Just need fuel line quick connect tool. Stick it in and rotate it until clip lets go
Why is this comment not highlighted across all videos about these damn clips! You are so right! I will buy a set of those fuel like disconnect tools
Nice video
thanks a ton !!!!!!!
👍😃
Hi Paul, Thanks for making this video. It was a real help in attempting to sort out a problem with these connections on my 2019 Blazer. My transmission needed replacing when the transmission fluid leaked out in a sudden and catastrophic failure. The dealership says the horseshoe shaped retaining clip was missing from the transmission cooler line. I'm assuming this caused the cooler line to disconnect. Any ideas on how this retaining clip might have come off? Note: The radiator in this vehicle was replaced 3 years ago.
The only way that line could come out is if the retaining clip was never installed from the factory or was not installed correctly.
Thanks for your help
Very good video. Thank You
👍😊
Ayyye! Gotta link where to order them transmission lines?
Now how to remove the front 2 plastic clips that are 6" or so tucked up into the piece
Any help when the lines are oxidized to the connector? Trying to pull it out...
Awesome
I put tranny in buick lesabre. Put new coolant lines in. The bottom line would snap into connector but has been popping out while driving. Have you ever heard or seen this problem.
When you shut off the truck does the oil flow back to the transmission or will I have to add new oil.
What size is this fitting that snaps into cooler from factory?
Wow you look just like Red Foreman the father on that 70s show you could be his twin brother Ya handsome son of a gun
Not having a "professional" pick, I found the perfect tool: a pecan pick!
Does a common flare tool work with these jiffy type connectors? Or is the flaring on the line different?
🔥🔥🔥
Hi does the same apply for a 97 chevy Winnebago?
Shouldn't I reinsert the clip after I reinsert the cooler line? Or before it as the sequence shown in the video?
As shown in the video, reinsert the clip before reinserting the
cooler line.
Waaaaaait, is THIS why my cooler line keeps popping out the trans?
@proclaimliberty2000 What size is the e-clips used in the trans line?
Do you have to put clip back on before or after snapping line back in? And what is the size or part number for clip if you know?
Put the clip back on the line and then pop the line back in. I do not know the part number.
@@proclaimliberty2000 on my car the bottom hose has a bit of play in it even after it clicks in
I replaced the rad and my cooler line keeps blowing out
Mine will not just pop in any tips
Lubricate the end of the tubing with transmission fluid. You do need to push it in hard for it to pop in.
Probably just saved me a 4l60e sir. I was putting the line in first and figured I missed an oring, does an oring go on the line anywhere
There's an O-ring behind the bolt that's attached to the radiator were the Line goes in! It's a taped O-ring style! But I put an actual o-ring behind it, even though the vacuum pressure popped the ring immediately cause I didn't snap the line in correct, but I swore I heard the snap,gave myself an oil change right in front of my house!, but snapped the line back in the leak stopped, but that's only if you see it leaking oil or Transmission fluid from the bolt itself not the lines!
I have a 2005 yukon denali 6.0 ,even though it stopped leaking from the bolt cause the exploded oring sealed it good, no lie!
But still need to replace the line cause mines is rusted an leaking oil ,but not even sure if the leak is in the line itself of the oil cooler side and now having an issue with the coolant so I'm just gonna swap everything that's connected to the radiator an maybe even the radiator itself!
An just to answer the question the clip he took out is the o ring for the line! Snap the black cap back on an done, no actual o ring on the outside of the line to my knowledge, I'm just a diy guy as well!
No o-ring!
Them clips look like the ones on the old car window crank
Tough to tell where you slid the clip back in. Both ends in same slot or end into each. Had a spare one to look at and it vanished...
Play with it for about 30 secs..youll see one side goes on one slot, other side in another.
@@steves5355 yeah took a while to figure out when in area couldn't really see into, was trying to put middle over a solid like on a door or window crank when there are 3 slots I believe and you put that hump into 1 and the legs into each of the other 2 then it just slid in... couldn't find my spares to look at..
nonononono. This was too easy. What's the catch
Those are not c clips.
They are my Saviour clips.
Mine are loose after install. Is there supposed to be some sort of o-ring?
Mine had no o-rings and felt loose in the old *and* new radiator. And yeah, they do look like the type of connectors that should have o-rings. Kinda disconcerting, but they don't appear to be leaking. I guess there's not much fluid pressure?
@@charlesrichards5389 There is no o-ring in these quick disconnect fittings. The manufacturer recommends replacing the clip (actually called a "retaining ring") each time it is removed.
Here are the steps for reinstall:
1. Install a new retaining ring (clip) into each quick connector fitting.
2. Hook one of the open ends of the retaining ring in one of the slots in the quick connector.
3. Rotate the retaining ring around the connector until the retaining ring is positioned with all 3 ears through the 3 slots.
4. Ensure the 3 retaining ring ears can be seen from the inside of the connector and the retaining ring can move freely in the slots.
5. Install the line into the quick connector fitting until a click is heard or felt.
6. Pull back on the line to ensure a proper connection.
7. Put the plastic cap back in place.
Allah bless you too
You never flush an automatic transmission.
Never backflush. Flush it by using the natural flow of the pump out the trans cooler into a bucket and adding new fluid until clean.
hello,how do i contact you
Hell I just use a dentist pick 😬
That’s what it looks like I thought he was going to say dental pick.
