It's easy to replace Automatic Transmission Cooling Lines
yourself - if you know this handy trick.
I'm not very handy when it comes to fixing things. Under most circumstances I wouldn't even think about fixing a transmission problem myself, but what are you going to do when the repair shop is closed and your car breaks down? As a point of masculine pride I had to at least take a look. I mean, my mechanic relies upon my expert diagnosis - Right?
So I had a look and actually found the problem - one of the transmission lines was leaking. I look at it for a little while, wiggle a few things, get on the ground to have a look from underneath. You know what? I think I can repair this, myself!
It looked pretty simple: just disconnect both ends, remove the line from
the retaining clips, replace with the new line, reconnect and I'm done.
Nothing to it. I do a quick Google search and find that I'm
right; there's nothing to it...And Bonus... the line is attached with
Quick Releases. I'll be back on the road in no time.
Two hours later and the quick releases still won't release! Hop on Google again and this time I actually read (rather than scanned) the How-To's and find that I need a Quick Release Disconnect Tool to make the Quick Releases release.
