Early production models will have the type 2 fit-
ting used previously. This fitting requires a release
tool to disconnect the cooler line from the fitting (Fig.
29). Later production models will have a new style
fitting that does not require any type of release tool.
This fitting has a plastic insert with built-in release
tabs (Fig. 30).
Cooler Line And Fitting Service
The cooler lines and fittings are only serviceable as
assemblies. Damaged fittings or cooler lines are to be
replaced. Fittings swedged into cooler line hoses (Fig.
31) are serviced only as part of the entire cooler hose.
DISCONNECTING COOLER LINES WITH TYPE
2 FITTING
(1) If fitting and cooler line are encrusted with
dirt, mud, or grease, clean fitting and cooler line with
Mopar spray type carburetor or brake cleaner. Plastic
release tool will not fit into retainer clip if fitting is
full of foreign material.
(2) Slide small plastic release tool into fitting until
tool bottoms against cooler line flange (Fig. 29).
(3) Push and turn release tool to spread retainer
clip and pull cooler line out of fitting (Fig. 29).
(4) Cover open ends of cooler lines and fittings to
prevent dirt entry.
(5) Inspect condition of fitting. Replace transmis-
sion fitting as an assembly if fitting body or retainerclip is damaged. Replace cooler line as assembly, if
fitting swedged into cooler line hose, is damaged.
DISCONNECTING COOLER LINES WITH NEW
STYLE FITTING
The new style fittingdoes notrequire any kind of
release tool. The fitting inserts have built-in release
tabs that only require finger pressure to release
them.
The new style fitting insert is unique. The insert
does not stay in place inside the fitting when re-
leased. Instead, the insert remains on the line and
does not have to be removed.
To release a new style fitting, simply squeeze the
insert tabs (Fig. 32) and disconnect the line. The in-
sert will remain in place on the line, or fitting and
does not have to be removed (Fig. 33).

CONNECTING COOLER LINES AND FITTINGS
(ALL TYPES)
(1) Wipe cooler line and fitting clean with shop
towel.
(2) Insert cooler line into fitting. Then push line
inward until retainer or insert secures line. A snap or
click sound will be heard when the insert tabs or re-
tainer clip seats behind the cooler line flange.
(3)Pull outward on cooler lines/fittings to
verify they are properly secured.
CAUTION: The wire retainer clips or insert release
tabs secure the cooler lines. If the clips or tabs are
deformed, distorted, or not fully seated, normal
fluid pressure could unseat the lines resulting in
fluid loss and transmission damage. Be very sure
the cooler lines are firmly secured as described in
step (3).
CONVERTER DRAINBACK CHECK VALVE SERVICE
The converter drainback check valve is located in
the cooler outlet (pressure) line near the radiator
lower tank. The valve prevents fluid drainback when
the vehicle is parked for lengthy periods. The valve
check ball is spring loaded and has an opening pres-
sure of approximately 2 psi. Refer to the cooler flow
test procedure for valve testing.
The valve is serviced as an assembly; it is not re-
pairable. Do not clean the valve if restricted, or con-
taminated by sludge, or debris. If the valve fails, or if
a transmission malfunction occurs that generates
sludge and/or clutch particles and metal shavings,
the valve must be replaced.
The valve must be removed whenever the cooler
and lines are reverse flushed. The valve can be flow
tested when necessary. The procedure is exactly the
same as for flow testing a cooler.
If the valve is restricted, installed backwards, or in
the wrong line, it will cause an overheat condition
and possible transmission failure.
CAUTION: The drainback valve is a one-way valve.
As such, it must be properly oriented in terms of
flow direction. In addition, the valve must only beinstalled in the pressure line. Otherwise flow will be
blocked causing overheat and eventual transmis-
sion failure.
TRANSMISSION COOLER FLOW TESTING
The transmission main and auxiliary coolers, plus
the drainback valve, should be flow tested whenever
fluid overheating is noted.
Restricted flow caused by contamination, or a
cooler malfunction, reduces lubrication fluid flow
throughout the transmission. This can result in fluid
overheating, fluid breakdown, bushing wear, shift
problems and component failure.
Normal color of transmission fluid varies from
bright red, to light pink. Fluid overheating is indi-
cated when fluid color ranges from orange-brown to
black, and the fluid smells burned, or contains
sludge.
CAUTION: If a transmission malfunction contami-
nates the fluid with clutch disc and metal particles,
the cooler and lines must be reverse flushed thor-
oughly. Flushing will prevent sludge and particles
from flowing back into the transmission and con-
verter after repair.
Cooler flow is tested by measuring the amount of
fluid pumped through the cooler in a specified time
by the transmission oil pump.The same flow test
procedure is used for the drainback valve, main
cooler, and auxiliary cooler.
Cooler And Drainback Valve Flow Test Procedure
(1) Test flow throughdrainback valveas follows:
(a) Add extra quart of ATF Plus to transmission.
(b) Disconnect pressure line at radiator fitting, or
at drainback valve and position hose or valve end
in one quart test container.
(c) Shift transmission into neutral, run engine at
idle speed for 20 seconds, and note flow from valve.
Use stopwatch to check test time.
(d) Replace drainback valve if flow is less than
one quart in 20 seconds, is intermittent, or does
not flow at all.
(e) Connect pressure hose to radiator fitting and
proceed to cooler flow test.
(2) Test flow throughmain cooleras follows:
(a) Disconnect cooler return (rear) line at trans-
mission and place it in one quart test container.
(b) Add extra quart of fluid to transmission.
(c) Shift transmission into neutral, run engine at
idle speed for 20 seconds, and note flow from valve.
Use stopwatch to check test time.
(d) Replace cooler if fluid flow is less than one
quart in 20 seconds, is intermittent, or does not
flow at all.

(3) If vehicle is equipped withauxiliary cooler,
test cooler flow as described in step (2).
TRANSMISSION COOLER REVERSE FLUSHING
The flushing procedure applies to standard and
auxiliary coolers alike. Although pressure equipment
is preferred, reverse flushing can be performed with
hand operated equipment as follows.
(1) Disconnect cooler pressure and return lines at
transmission (Figs. 34 and 35).
(2) Remove and discard drainback valve. Install
fabricated hose and fitting in place of valve.
(3) Position drain pan under cooler pressure line to
catch material flushed through cooler and lines.(4) Reverse flush cooler using hand operated suc-
tion gun filled with mineral spirits. Insert gun nozzle
(or hose) into cooler return line. Then force mineral
spirits into line and through cooler.
(5) Continue reverse flushing until fluid coming
out of cooler pressure line is clear.Replace cooler if
fluid cannot be pumped through.
(6) Clear flushing materials from cooler and lines
with short pulses of compressed air. Insert air gun
nozzle into cooler return line and continue short air
pulses until all fluid is cleared from cooler and lines.
(7) Pump one quart of fresh automatic transmis-
sion fluid through cooler and lines before reconnect-
ing lines.
(8) Install new drainback valve in pressure line.
(9) Check and adjust transmission fluid level as
described in this section.
