Hey all - I'm in the middle of replacing the radiator on a 2000 XJ sport 4.0, and in the process of taking out the old one I kinked the metal line running from the flare connection at the top of the radiator on the driver's side, to what looks like a quick connect fitting going into the transmission (see picture below). The connection at the flare end was so rusted there was no getting around it.

What I can't seem to find out is what the line is called so that I can order a new one. Best guess is the transmission oil coolant line? If someone can confirm or knows where to order one online I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

The radiator side looks right, but the opposite end doesn't look like a quick connect fitting. Is there another piece I'm going to need to buy?

I put in a complete set of these Dorman lines. Good fit and function.

The fitting at the lower end is a quick connect. You will need the proper tool to release it. Something like this.


Slip the tool over the line and push the two lines together, then push the tool into the fitting and pull the lines apart. There are metal fingers in there that hold the two lines together. That tool releases them. To install the new line, just push the new line into the other until it snaps into place. If you will be replacing the line with the hose on it, lube the o-rings in the fitting with transmission fluid so you do not damage them. The fittings at the transmission i think are plastic? Might want to get new ones, just in case you break them. Rockauto sells those as well. Dorman part number 800-714.
