AOD HELP! Tranny lines leaking!

fiveohpatrol · 09-06-2001, 05:32 PM

1st i'd try just tightening the fitting, then if it is tight then go about changing the fitting out for a new one
the fittings have a plastic piece inside of them and thats what the line snaps into, if its broken, the line will leak, you might be able to break the plastic piece and just pull the line out, you may be able to get the line out with a decent amount of muscle, then the new fitting just screws into the tranny and the line snaps right in
im guessing the special tool is to get the old line out of the fitting, but i just yanked mine out, it doesnt matter if you ruin it because your replacing it anyway,
if you cant get to a ford dealer, most tranny shops will have the fitting in stock
