Trans coolant line to radiator need help

Was replacing my radiator, tried to disconnect the trans cooler line from the top but the line broke and I have to replace the whole line. When I was disconnecting the bottom half from the rubber hose the quick disconnect broke out. How do I fix this?

1996. The quick disconnect totally broke and came out of the socket of the hose and stuck to the metal tranny cooler line.

You can buy a new one. Not sure for your year but for others, I see them on Rock Auto.

i managed to break both of my trans cooler lines at the rad. luckily there was enough metal line sticking out i could clamp a piece of soft hose between the 2 hard lines. it was a temp fix i did several years and 50k+ miles ago. up until now i forgot that i even did it.
