Default Transmission Cooler Lines Help Plz

So i have to replace my transmission coolant lines. A. one was starting to crack might as well replace it while in in the engine with radiator out. B. the other one has a pinched line now due to trying to remove it and it being seized up nice and tight.

So i know the one that plugs into the top of the radiator goes back to the transmission by the NSS. The lower line i have no clue where it goes back to. The haynes manual doesn't have any info on this. Anyone please help me find some info, would kinda like to have a idea before i go any further.

IIRC, they are routed together. Since you know where one connects, the other would connect to the other spot. That would be unless it has some kind of auxiliary cooler. Just a guess! I don't think I've ever messed with mine. Maybe google AW4...(Asian Warner) + Cherokee

Maybe it's here;

https://www.google.com/search?as_q=&...pe=&as_rights=

OK, Here; http://www.stu-offroad.com/engine/aw-4/aw-4-2.htm

Sometimes in Google "advanced search", I put a line in "exact phrase", then shorten it if it doesn't go. (use browser back button). Also in "with these words", you can put things like "cherokeeforum.com" or "Cherokee" or "redhead", to narrow it.

The other line plugs into the side of the tranny housing as well. Not sure which tranny you are running but I have an AW4 and the line plugs are relatively close together on the right side (passenger) on the housing.

yea they plug in next to each other with quick disco's. I just hope the quick disco's aren't gunked up and stuck in place or broken. .

Got me a job today so now i have to get it running sooner. As my new boss is letting me fix it before i start work.


Oh and oreilly auto forgot to order me the top half of the line that plugs into the top of the radiator for transmission cooler line. Fail Oreilly Auto, but atleast they're over nighting the line so i can pick it up tomorrow. Also am i going to loose alot of fluid when i remove the lines to put new ones in?

Looking at where they are relative to the dipstick in the pic in the link, I'd say your fine. Congrats on the job!

My lines popped in and out the quick disc. real easily and the only fluid I lost was what was in the line itself.
