Welp, looks like I got an excuse to tinker.

The fear of leaking trans cooler lines is no more! I give much thanks to those responsible for me having everything I need to get this done. Drinks on me, fellas.

I like to disassemble things.
In the middle of doing mine.

Accessing the connections at the front are a bit of a bitch to put it lightly. I was told you could get at the fittings from the bottom but I could not, belly pan removed and all. I had to force my arm down from the top and feel my way through it. I'm interested to hear your experience with it.

Mcmaster bolts are a perfect fit btw...

Well, it's gonna be a minute before I get to it, due to a busy concert and travel season, but I will follow your lead and see how it goes.

Good to know about the bolts. You went with the shorter of the two lengths that you sent me, correct?

I do have a couple questions though. What did you do to minimize the loss of trans fluid? Or, did you just unplug and remove/replace? Assuming there was a fluid loss, how much loss was there?

Thanks again for your help!
