[@jameskinslow5298]

this video is 6 years old and thank you for it... Didn't want to spend the money on the removal tool. Thanks for the help sir

[@crackmonkeynet]

FYI I have worked in the Auto industry in BC Canada for 30 years and never seen that style line that was installed without the safety clip. The plastic clip is very important as the metal clip is prone to getting stretched out of spec which could allow the line to disconnect under transmission line pressure. The safety clip will not fit over the metal clip if it is bent enough to not hold the line, the line can not disconnect from the metal clip if the safety clip is sitting properly against the fitting. Good presentation .

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Many thanks for that great info. I should have stressed that better for sure instead of quickly glancing over it for sure. I appreciate the comment and feedback. Make sure to subscribe and again....thanks.

[@crackmonkeynet]

@@MotorCityMechanic No problem! Glad to help add to your well done video.

[@gordonaycock1655]

Always use the safety clip. I had a snap ring fail even through you could hear and see it clip in. Not fun with fluid all over the ground and a transmission that wouldn't shift or engage out several miles from town.

[@whitelightning8777]

​@@MotorCityMechanic Hey brotha got a tech question hope you can steer me in the right direction. Got a 15 ram 1500 hemi 8spd , had to replace the lines" 52014804AI " my question is on the transmission heater the 2 holes for the lines which is which ? Does the farthest hole on the heater does that line connect to the top or bottom line at the radiator? I can't find a clear diagram and not sure if I mixed them up. Basically which line is supply and return at both connection points, radiator and transmission heater. Any help would be amazing. Love your videos.

[@veteranacp]

You made a superb video. Everything perfect--concise, clear wording and your camera work was outstanding. Thanks a million!

[@tomboytomgirl5356]

David, you are GOOD! You KNOW how to explain the DETAILS that are NECESSARY and ARE the very reasons that guys like me come to view your videos in the first place! Keep us the expert teaching! We NEED it.

[@jamescrispino6094]

That was a clear concise how to with none of the usual KZbin fluff. Thank you very much!

[@BigZaddy2112]

I watched this as I replaced my trans cooler lines on my Ram Promaster 2500 3.6L V6 with the 62TE transmission. Thank you very much for taking the time to make the videos!!!

[@williamwilkerson3035]

Great! Love how you made the video very detailed and informative with 'CLEAR' footage to show what is being done. Thumbs up

[@marcusdamberger]

This was a huge help! Worked right away. The new radiator already has the C clips and O-rings installed, so I didn't have to transfer them, which was nice. But I'll probably grab them off the old radiator. Thanks for the super helpful video. Also saw your PT Cruiser timing belt and water pump replacement video and decided that it was way too involved for my skill set or available space, single car monthly rental garage. Just gonna leave that to the expert, but doing my own radiator and getting the transmission oil lines off was what was holding me up on another car I was working on.

[@danielchadderdon76]

You just saved me 500 bucks on replacing my lines. Thank you sooooooo much

[@renaelee5596]

I am a few years late finding this video, I have a 2006 Mitsubishi Raider XLS 4.7L, information about anything under the hood is scarce, I cannot tell you how much help this video was for me changing my radiator and removing transmission lines. Thank you for the detailed information. I liked and subscribed. 😁

[@bigmack2141]

Great video , such a simple clip but SO important to understand and make sure it holds the pipe in place. All the details are so correct, don’t want any dirt getting etc, imagine have one pop out, there goes a transmission.

[@michaelcooper4345]

You have no idea how incredibly helpful this is. Thank you and thanks for the great quality closeup

[@davidcoudriet8439]

Great tip, and excellent camera work!

[@YOUZTUBE2000]

David- Your channel has been a wealth of knowledge to me as I’ve started to wrench on my 2014 Town/Country- Thank you!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Glad I can always help out. I appreciate the kind words and for you having subscribed.

[@bipedalbob]

Now that's the way a video is done, so much better than any other I've seen.

[@battlehoundkennels5769]

Omg thank you!!! 3 hrs I spent, on my birthday to beat it all, trying to get the plastic clip back on an 05 Liberty line. 1 clip, 3 hrs. All afternoon replacing both lines. I wish I had found this video during searches prior to starting this project... I'd not have had such a long, rough day.

[@markschuette3770]

nice close up photography ! and your speaking/explanation is smooth, clear with no extra verbage- refreshing- keep up the good work!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Thanks for the great feedback. Cool to see that people notice the work that goes into each video. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already.

[@freedomflyer100]

Excellent tip and the close up was very helpful. Thanks!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already

[@stoictrucker9326]

This is the tenth and last video I feel the need to watch before I go work on my truck. You took the time to clearly show how it works and Why it works that way. And personally that's what really makes the difference in my understanding. The Why it works the way it does. Several other clips showed the same technique, most not as visible as this video. So thank you for a job very well done. I salute you sir

[@waldos58]

Thanks David, that was great. I am just about to change the radiator in my 07 Dakota that has exactly the same type disconnects, and I was in awe as to how I was going to get them free, so you did me a world of good. I will continue to watch your video's so keep the good stuff coming. Thanks again.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Thanks Walter. Glad to see that the videos help and thanks for returning to watch more.

[@melnewdem9929]

Thanks....my 06 Ram 1500 lines were rusted mess and parts discontinued... finally found someone to make them up and installed them myself...thanks to your video!

[@rage801]

This was a well made video, no commercials and short. Thanks!

[@gfysyoutube]

Extremely well explained and shot, clear close-up photos.

[@MissclaudineWilson-wg7tb]

Hi david im a 36 year old woman who loves her cars own a lincoln navigator and a dodge charger and youre video helped me and most of all gave me the courage i needed to tackle thiw job sometimes it can be really discouraging and mostly cost a lot of money u helped me fix my own ride # thats badass thank u

[@jesusbeltranii3673]

Thank you. This is what I was looking for. Kept trying to clip on the things after putting the lines in. Now, back to work.

[@bub2303]

Thanks bud I'm always a fan of anyone who helps me avoid buying those specialty tools. They make so many I would run out of room in the toolbox or just plain forget I have them

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Isn’t that the truth! I have my own shop now and talk about having tools….seems I’m ordering some type of tool every week

[@dennismcclafferty2019]

Hey David,Just wanted to thank you also you Rock Dude,The kick down solenoid went on my Wife’s Journey! Your vid/instructional on the replacement’ was right on👍

[@wyattoneable]

I love the tip. I love tools as much as the next guy but if I can do a job and not spend money, that's a win.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Very true. I never use those tools for the line removal. Luckily those are the shops tools.....I rather spend my money on other things lol.

[@markhudson5994]

In the middle of battling these. Wish I had watched this first. Awesome video. Thanks much!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Feel free to check out all my videos...they might give you that bit of info you might need for the next time you run into something like this. Appreciate you watching and for the comment! Make sure to subscribe

[@tomfrantz]

You have saved my bacon-so many times. You have the best videos and quality. Please don't tell anyone that I was trying to install 2 transmission clips onto a Hummer H3 (without knowing they were "QUICK CLIPS) by installing clip (OVER) the transmission line installed doodad. Saved my day. Thank you.

[@allendavis3041]

The best video on KZbin for removing those transmission lines! Thanks!

[@ip5232]

[@MrCoreydelo]

Very professional and easy to follow. I appreciate your help!

[@andyp9747]

Great video! Awesome close ups and perfect voice over descriptions. I bought a smaller version of that pick set and some new transmission cooler lines to replace myself on my 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan. I couldn't have done it without your video. Thank you for helping me save hundreds of dollars! Liked and Subscribed!

[@X6084ZW]

Great explanation and tip. Good camera work and straight to the point. Far too many mechanical videos on you tube that are of poor quality and way too long. Greatly appreciated. Anything you can add on the 4.7 will be appreciated. Not many tutorials on '05 Dakota 4.7 V8 and I struggle finding information.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Many thanks for the kind words about the video. My early videos sucked when it came to quality....over time I evolved lol. I will certainly keep those requests in mind for future videos. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already

[@johnm.woodman1790]

One of the clearest videos I've ever seen. Thanks!

[@tirwinger]

Wow, very excellent video! Very clear close up simple explained straight to the point! Thank you👍🏾

[@chrisdowing1775]

Just want to say thank you for the video. Working on a 2004 GMC Savana, replacing the radiator. First time having a transmission cooler inside the radiator and these type of connectors. Made the switch a breeze with a small screwdriver.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Awesome. Glad the video helped another person!

[@wizard3z868]

harbor freight $4 pick set and my favorite pb blaster and brake cleaner ty for the tip

[@jameslaiola4976]

Wow. Thank you Sir. I came to your channel because i received a new radiator with those style of fittings. I was baffled but thanks to you. I basically have a safety measure for if the screw on connectors fail.

[@anthonydemarco2583]

Great video, extremely helpful and no nonsense. Thanks for posting!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Your welcome and thanks for taking the time to watch.

[@armaletalia3254]

Awesome vid. I was looking at one of the Mopar special tool websites and I noticed that tool was $70 or so. Glad there's an alternate (and simple) way to remove the lines.

[@Fred-xu8zb]

Excellent video, what I needed to know is all right here. Like JustSomeGuy says, No bullshit, right to the point. Was feeling a little frustrated about these clips, not now. I am now a new subscriber.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Many thanks for subscribing and for the great feedback! Sorry about the delay in getting back to you.

[@keeperhappy1]

I'm finding the hardest part of fixing a car,, is all the different clips and how to remove them and replace them, because you just can't figure out how ,to get the part off.... this video is very helpful, you explained it, very well thank you!!

[@rancherodan5152]

Thank you your tip was awesome. Working on my son's 2007 doge ram 1500. The cooler lines are being replaced and when I saw this coupler at the trans I knew i did not have the special tool to remove it. Thanks again for great advise!

[@ScatPackRob]

The pick worked great, glad I didn't spring for the specialty tool. Thanks so much for the tip, it made the job changing transmission lines easy.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Awesome! No need for some tools that you might never use again.

[@ScatPackRob]

@@MotorCityMechanic Ironicaly, The good quality picks were a little too large while the 1$ or free (can't remember which) HF picks worked great. Thanks again for sharing.

[@pjmckee1]

Thank you for the video! I have a cooler line that is dangerously close to rusting through so I bought replacements that have sat around collecting dust. I checked with some of those "master disconnect kits" and noone could confirm they had the correct tool anyway. The official mopar tool is somewhat hard to find and ridiculously expensive for what it is ($75-100+) If you don't have a pick set you buy some for a few bucks at harbor freight (I use mine all the time for removing o-rings during oil changes) Anyway, thanks again maybe now I'll finally get this job done!

Even this video is two yrs ago, it happened I need this info right now 🙂 I'll replace my radiator today I'm wondering playing sliding the rubber from the pipe no idea what does it do😄 now I know all of it 🙂 thanks for the video and is a good one too😄👍

[@MrCosmos110]

Finally, Finally, Finally, somebody reveals the mystery, of the "Mystery Clip", the one that's Clipping the public with it's mystery. This is the only video I've found that shows up close what this and how to work it off/on. When something like this comes along and so many people won't explain it and there are no instructions on it's box, the reason for it is to Clip the Public for $$$$$. If nothing else then it's good for the transmission specialist when it leaks out all your transmission fluid on a freeway which also is a shot in the arm for the wrecker business. Thanks so much ! ! !

[@ronaldnarimatsu8997]

Great video, thank you! you really help understand how to remove the c-clips....

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Glad I could help Ronald!

[@careylee5951]

There is a small o-ring inside the fitting that should be changed or you run the risk of the cooler line leaking.Choice is yours,just know that if it leaks now you have to take it apart again.

[@tjgentry8296]

Any idea what size that o ring is?

[@johnmixon22]

Excellent viseo. Shows the "shop" way ($$$), and the quick & simple way. I have had the lines pop off 2 times. All the fluid spewed out. Dang! The white plastic "keeper" caps would meke a more secute connection. Thanks!! 👍👍
