Are the cooler lines coming out of the AOD trans supposed to be loose?
The upper tube can move around, the lower one seems firm.
I'm confused if this is normal for the AOD, it is certainly different than the older trans that I'm used to.
thanks,
Jack

No they are not supposed to be loose ...I believe they are loose at the radiator they have a special fitting with a plastic sleeve inside...At least they where that way on my 86 GT

Do you mean the fittings are loose, or the lines themselves can be moved around a little?

The lines should be tight as they go into the intermediate fitting, and the intermediate fitting is tight in the radiator.

Good luck.

Hmm, there is a plastic sleeve around the tubing in the fitting, it sounds like these fittings go into the radiator and not the transmission!?
Must be why they don't seem to fit right! I don't have other fittings that go into the trans, can these be bought new or are they junkyard items?
thanks!
Jack

Shoot. Jack, I thought you meant the lines as they go into the radiator. I dont know what the lines look like that go into the trans. Sorry for my misread.

I meant the fittings that go into the radiator are the ones that let the line move even when they are tight the fittings at the trans are supposed to be tight and the lines shouldnt move when they are tight...hope that clarifies things
