Disconnecting transmission line.

[vz sv6 68]

just a question to the gut that put the transmission cooler in .once you got the lines off what did you use to plumb the lines back into the new cooler.is there a chance you give a bit of a description or photos because i am having a hard time plumbing mine in

You could probably piss off the original hoses with the clip connectors and run normal rubber hoses with hose clamps at both ends.

Yea I just used tranny line and clamps from pirtek. Feed them through on the left side of the rad. There's a plastic thing in the way which I cut.

VE is different to those, I just got a steak knife and popped out the circlips in 5 secs! Job done!

Agree, a Biro or such plastic pen cap works a treat. I have used such method with great success and no expense. Glad to hear you resolved your problem.

Have you bypassed the cooler that is incorporated into the radiator (as standard) ?

By the way, with two coolers fitted your transmission may not reach an acceptable operating temperature. Do you intend to also install a Transmission Oil Temp. Gauge ?

what line should be removed if flushing the torque/radiator of old fluid?
is it line "5" as i this diagram? on a 2007 VE commodore (lumina/omega L460E AT)
(i know that my lines use the circlip type thingo)

I’ve tried the tool in the picture below but it doesn’t work.
