Reconnect Procedure

1. After performing the service that required the line to be disconnected, wipe the line end with a clean rag.

2. Check the line surfaces for burrs on existing or replacement parts.

3. Apply a coating of clean transmission fluid over the entire male line end surface up to the bead.

4. Push the line into the connector until the retainer seats and a click is heard. Pull back on the line to ensure that the connector is locked in place (15-30 lbs.). Do not rely only on the audible click to confirm that a secure connection has been made.

5. Start the engine and check the connector for fluid leaks.
