So this past weekend i installed a tranny cooler, thrasher shift kit, and the sensor for my transmission gauge. when i put the sensor and cooler in i cut into the rubber lines that are towards the front of the car. when i filled up the trans with fluid i had a leak at this fitting. any ideas? im not familiar with this kind of fitting. Help if you can. Heres a picture.

I can't quite make it out in your picture, but there should be a plastic cap that slides down over the top of the fitting that is around the pipe. You slide this cap back down the pipe and it will expose a small wire clip. Use a pick to pop this clip off, and you should be able to slide the pipe out. The connectors themselves typically have a rubber o-ring inside of them. You'll get a new connector as the o-ring isn't available separately.

This transmission has 2 different part numbers for that connector:
24236555 "long style"
24236554 "short style"

I think yours is the short one. But just double check the length of the other fitting first though.

Hm maybe its that little rubber o ring. Ill pull it out and look at it. Thanks man appreciate it.

You have to replace that fitting. It comes off easy with a wrench. The replacement is $30 or so. You scuff up the inside of the fitting while moving the lines around during installation. I had the exact same thing happen.

awesome man thanks for the response

No problem. It took me a while to figure out. I replaced the locking clips twice until received a second opinion from a friend. It is kind of scary how loose those quick connect fittings are even when properly assembled.

They use that style fitting for damn near everything now, and it's kind of ridiculous.

im replacing these tomorrow and the original ones are bigger then the after market ...and the big one has lube inside does anyone know why should i leave it like that

The reasoning behind those fittings is for assembly reasons. It speeds things up immensely at the factory when you just have to slide the lines in.

Did ya'll have to replace the Connector or just the O ring for the line ?

As the long Style one is leaking on mine. takes about a week to drip a few table spoons , Anoying non the less.
Let me know if and what fixed it for you

Thanks

I removed the fitting from the transmission, without taking the clip off and pulling the tube out, did i ruin anything by doing this? also where is best place to get replacement? would it be possible to get an o-ring from kit of o rings or hydrallic specialty store and just replace that vs buying new fitting to get an o-ring?
