O.K.!!!What's The Trick? 4L60E Oil Line Connector Clips? I've already done the reasearch, which some say install the clips first, then snap-in the oil line. IT DOES'NT WORK! Some say put the clips on after the oil line is inserted into the fitting. IT DOES'NT WORK! You name it & i've tried it. IT DOES'NT WORK! The tranny is in the vehicle. Whats the trick with these "E" clips? I Just wasted 4 hours of my life on these little bastards with NO progress. I just got my *** wooped by two little wire clips. HELP!!!!

just install the clips first. the hard part is lining up the lines so they go in straight. some times you have to tweak them a little bit. just mess with them a little you will get it.

Tranny Oil Line Clips Conquest Complete! Here's what I did & figured out what I was doing wrong. I finally took the lines, both of them, completely out of the vehicle & over to the work bench where I could see what I was doing. I un-threaded the tube reciever fitting off the side of the tranny & also brought it over to the workbench. At the bench, with a light...I figured it out, where I could SEE WHAT I WAS DOING! There are "three"(3) little slots in the tranny fitting for the "two-pronged", "E" clip to go into. Guess what? Your supposed to push the "E" clip into the outer most slots, leaving the middle slot available for the middle of the clip to go into! I was trying to simply push the clip into just two of these slots, because this was the same spacing width of the "E" clip. How you push on the clip properly is: Put one of the clip prong ends into one of the slots...Then roll the clip open farther than its natural shape & into the third slot, farthur away, around the fitting. It will go right in that way. And guess what? The transmission line will then snap right in, just as someone said on another post I researched. I thought I would go to the trouble to explain this stupid problem, so no one else will ever have this predicament, like I did. Gar

Sometimes the lines just won't go in with the clips on there. I have a special tool that lets me take the lines out without removing the clips, but every once in a while I get one that is a pain and have to take off the clip anyway.

Another trick is to insert the clip while it is sliding over the non-groove areas, this will allow the clip to engage both cutouts and facilitate installing them. Just like putting on a retaining clip on a trailer hitch. I can put them on in seconds, you just need to see how they go in.
