Tranny cooling line leaking....
Hey all,
I think I may have finally found where my tranny fluid is leaking from. After I changed the fluid and put on a new gasket, I noticed there was still a leak coming from somewhere. Well, I noticed that the cooling line towards the front of the of the tranny, right where the cooling line connects to the tranny, was wet. Upon inspection, it looks like the plastic insert that connects to the fitting is shot and is leaking.
Now my question is...has anyone ever replaced these plastic inserts? Do I need to drain all the fluid again to relieve any pressure? Or can I just pop it off, plug the line, then install the new insert without any major issues?
Any input is much appreciated. Thanks!
