Leaking tranny lines
As you can see I have some leaks...this fitting here I think is the check valve is it safe to just do away with both fittings using scissors on the rubber line&a dremel on the metal&then use hose clamps?

yes.
be sure and use ATF hose only. available at any parts store for $2.50-3.00 per foot.
i used a dremel cutoff to slit the original crimp, and a tubing cutter cut the hard line. be sure not to get any chips in the line.
double clamps help.

Do you HAVE to do this? If you have the tool to remove the connectors coundn't you just remove the factry line from the tubing and the slip the new tubing over without having t o cut anything?

^ i don't know about other years, but my 01 required both hard lines to be cut.
the pressure line had a flare or fitting or something for the check valve which had to be cut off.
the return line had the rubber hose permanently crimped onto the hard line, not a quick connect. i could have either cut the pipe, or cut the crimped hose off the pipe. either way is fine, but its the only way to get down to a piece of pipe that you can slip a universal hose over.
its not hard. i used a mini tubing cutter, like for copper tubing. i'd recommend labeling the lines so you don't get them mixed up, then just cut them off. don't waste time cutting crimps or unscrewing check valves or any other screwing around.

Remote trans filter. Install that and you dont need to go into the trans, provided the trans filters are new to start with. It also helps to keep the torque converter filled after you delete the check valve.

if you get one, be SURE and plumb the IN and OUT lines correctly. this cost someone (name withheld to protect the guilty) a transmission due to the built in check valve in the filter and no flow.
