I need to replace on of my transmission cooler lines as it sprung a slight leak in the area underneath the power steering pump, my question is do I need to purchase the fitting that goes into the transmission (#9) or will my new line just fit into that fitting,and question #2, is the area of the tranny accessible without much fuss?:thx.......................I found a link to the fitting that it attaches to at the trans..http://www.compnine.com/smallimg/24205102.gif

I Took A Shortcut
Since my lines were not rusted from the transmission to about the midpoint to the radiator, I used a mini tubing cutter and cut the lines right about where the 7 and 8 numbers are in the diagram in the first post. (Also, there was no way for me to get my ape-like arms in between the transmission and frame, exhaust pipe, manifold, etc.)
When I installed the new lines from the radiator back, I cut the new lines using the mini tubing cutter once again and used brass compression fittings to couple the lines together. I offset the cuts so the compression fittings would not be next to one another and I slipped some fuel line hose over the compression fittings and about 6 inches either side of the fitting and zip tied them in place to prevent rubbing and vibrations from making holes in the aluminium tubing.
