Trans line 2001 jeep cherokee4.0 4x4 right hand drive.i'm replacing radiator an i can't get the lower trans off.it seems to be slip type fitting.how do iget it off.please help

they should stack naturally, but crossing whould not hurt them,,inside radiator is just a cool tank

If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/thomas_9f23c57b7a2fc8ff

Test and check torque converter.

- Drain the coolant into a container, by opening the drain tap, or if that is not present, loosening the lower radiator hose.

- Remove upper and lower radiator hoses, and the reservoir hose from the filler neck

- Disconnect the wiring connector to the fan motor

- Remove the cruise control actuator cover if necessary to gain more space

- unbolt the fan shroud from the radiator and remove the fan and shroud

- on an auto, remove the trans cooler lines from the bottom of the radiator, and plug the lines

- unbolt the radiator and lift it out. Take care not to lose the rubber insulators on the radiator mounts. Clean with compressed air.

- install in reverse, taking care the rubber mount insulators are in place. Unless they are very new, take this opportunity to replace both radiator hoses. Refill the radiator.

- Test drive for a short distance and top up, if needed, the radiator, and auto trans if fitted. Red low silicate antifreeze additive is recommended for these engines. Do not mix red and green types.

there are 2 lines from trans. to radiator.the 'cooler'' inside the radiator is no more than a tube connecting the two lines to form a 'loop' if all is original,there should only be one 'best fit'.T to T, B to B [ lines parallel] sounds like it.

cheapest and easiest is to cut it at the leake and rejoind with a compression union. How is the line damage? bent, kink, chafe hole?

Transmission oil in the radiator: Suspect you may also have water in transmission.

Likely culprit is the transmission has a small line that runs transmission fluid thru the radiator to cool the transmission fluid. It is supposed to be a closed system. Sounds like your radiator failed. Would expect with this kind of failure, you should replace and not repair the radiator. Then you need to flush and replace fluid & filter in transmission.

You don't get there that way. remove the six or so bolts that attach the rail above the radiator to the front trim, and, remove the bolts that hold the same rail to the radiator and rail extensions from the front fenders (including latch loop) also remove the electric fan. once you get the top rail off remove the air box, lower hose and trans cooler lines. Radiator lifts straight up.

The cooling system is pretty much self explanatory hoses go from and to the most obvious places...(you wouldn't try to stretch the lower hose all the way across to the upper hose connection). The trans cooler in the radiator can actually be connected either way. It is non-directional, being a simple coil inside the radiator tank. If you want to install an external trans cooler, that's a bit different...it needs to go on the outflow side of the radiator so it can further cool what the radiator has already cooled down. An easy way to find out which side is the return line, simply take one fitting off the radiator, remove the coil wire so engine dosen't start and "bump" the engine over till trans fluid comes out. if out of radiator nipple you are on the correct side, out of hose, install on other side. Leaking lines can be partially replaced using brass compression fittings made for this. Only use them on straight clean runs, not on heavy rust or bends.

Usually, the trans connect to the radiator is a "quick connect" type of fitting. You should buy a quick connect tool at autozone or somewhere similar...They usually have these tools.

It has been too long since I did this work, but here is a tip: Go to Auto Zone, or one of those parts houses, and they will probably have a tool for this, I can't say for sure, but I believe it will be something to release the connection so it will come apart.
