I've got a 96 Dakota V6 auto. One of my lines that go from the trans to the radiator is leaking right where it goes into the trans. To be more specific its leaking between the steel line, and the yellow plastic quick connect fitting.

How do these quick connect fittings disconnect?

Its the line thats the farthest front on the trans. It has great multitudes of bends in it. Looks like its gonna be a nightmare to replace. I'm guessing this will be a dealership part? I hope it comes pre bent.

 

dont know about the quick connect can you cut the line and get a one of thosesteal scrueclamps

 

best to purchase a quick connect tool, available at any parts store. you're trans line is probably 3/8. you can buy an individual size (1/4, 5/16, 3/8) or a kit with multiple sizes. they are not expensive, $3 or so for one, or $10-20 for a kit. the tool has 2 halves that surround the line, and then it slips down inside the quick connect fitting. once down in there, it spreads the fingers that hold it on. you can then pull the fitting off. tips.. spray the fitting with wd40 to free up any rust, mud. if it doesn't release, push in a little more and twist the tool back and forth.

ps. its also called a fuel line disconnect.
