How to fix a hard line for your transmission cooler. also works great for oil cooler, or fuel line. i used a compression fitting which cost $3.89 at pepboys . In this video i show you the steps involved to fix a leaking transmission cooler lines on your vehicle. these lines tend to start leaking over time at the c.
This 2011 ram had the cooler lines leaking at the hoses up front and since it takes a bit of labor to replace the assembly we opted to just replace the hoses. The first step in fixing the problem is identifying the source of the leak. this can be done by inspecting the transmission cooler lines and the radiator for signs of damage or corrosion. once the source of the leak has been identified, the appropriate repair method can be selected. Here are some of the most likely places i’d expect transmission cooling lines to leak from: poorly installed fittings (from aftermarket parts or improper earlier repair jobs) cheap clamps used with rubber hose systems. cracks in rubber or braided lines. physical damage to metal pipes. rusted metal lines. You can also use a black light to pinpoint leaks. first, you add fluorescent dye to the transmission, then operate the vehicle. recheck the transmission using the black light—any leaks should appear bright yellow due to the dye mixed in with the fluid. once you know where the leak is coming from, you can replace the necessary component (s) to.

The cooling line system in an automatic transmission ensures temperatures stay within a safe operating range, typically between 175°f and 200°f. this system works by circulating hot automatic transmission fluid (atf) from the transmission to the radiator for cooling and then returning. the cooler lines consist of both "hot" and "cold" lines. If you have fluid leaking from your transmission, the typical cost to repair the leak (without taking off the transmission) is between $150 and $200. for this amount, you will get a replacement of the pan bolts, drain plugs, seals, gasket, fluid lines. however, the true cost will be determined by where the leak is actually coming from on the.
