Don’t forget to flush the transmission fluid after replacing the cooler lines. It’s a crucial step to ensure everything is running smoothly!
Good point! Also, using new O-rings when attaching the lines can prevent leaks.

It’s crucial because worn or damaged lines can lead to leaks, which may severely damage your transmission!
I did this replacement last month! I used a DIY guide with step-by-step photos, super helpful. I can share some pictures if anyone wants!

I’d love to see those pictures! Visual aids always help in understanding the process better!
Keep in mind that removing the old lines can be tricky! A little humor: they can be like a bad relationship—hard to get out of!
Haha! So true! Patience is key. Just remember to have a clean workspace too.
Reflecting on my last transmission project, I learned that double-checking everything can save loads of hassle later on. Don’t rush it.
Exactly! Proper time management will make your project seamless and enjoyable.

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a detailed diagram of the 6L80 transmission cooler lines. I noticed there’s a leak, and I want to pinpoint where it’s coming from!
Check out online forums or service manuals for schematics! Leaks are common at the fittings. Make sure to check those first!

I had a similar issue last month. My lower cooler line was kinked pretty badly. After replacing it, the leak stopped completely! Might be worth checking your lines for kinks too.

Absolutely! Don’t forget to tighten the bolts too; sometimes that’s all it takes to fix the leaks!
I came across a video showing how to diagnose and fix these lines when I had my own issues. A visual can really help when dealing with tricky setups!

For sure! I always recommend using colored markers to label each line before removal. It saved me a lot of headaches!
Good thinking, anthonybaird! It’s easy to mix up the lines after unhooking them. Anyone dealt with rust on their lines? That’s my next concern!
I’ve seen it! A quick clean with a wire brush helped a lot, but you might need to replace them if it’s too bad.
I’ve got some tips for checking the fittings; use soap and water to spot leaks! Kind of like a science experiment but with cars.
That sounds like a fun way to troubleshoot! I’ll definitely be trying that out. Thanks for the tip!
