Where to get tranny line clip?
I have a 85 Jeep Grand Cherokee. My tranny line is leaking at the
joint by the cooler which leads me to believe I need a new plastic clip. The clip looks like this: http://ken-co.com/fmsi/3102.jpg Now I can find this clip in my local auto parts store but it's shown as a fuel line part. I bought one anyways to check and it seemed really flimsy... I didn't want to chance it. I went to the the dealer and they said they don't sell the clip separately.. I would have to buy the whole line; $90. Forget that. I can't believe that every time someone brings their vehocle in and a clip needs to get repaired thy rip out the whole line as well. Where can I get this part? Thanks for any info!! -Adam |

Mine have a teeny metal spring clip and a plastic carrier. http://www.revbeergoggles.com/temp/trans-connector.jpg That clip simply holds the fitting on, what you need is new O rings that are inside that fitting. Unfortunatly I don't know any other source than the dealer unless Napa has a replacement part.

Try www.chryslerpartsdirect.com and see what they have for OEM cost. They are a dealership but they don't price gouge. I've found out that sometimes there is no good cheap solution that lasts. -- DougW |

Re: Where to get tranny line clip?
I would like to add that the person you were dealing with at the dealer probably didn't have time help you correctly. They usually run so short on help that they folks are forced to "triage" requests. Most likely, if they can furnish it separately it would come in a pack of "10 each" and their manager would stomp them if they ordered 10 and only sold one. I have been forced to buy 10 of several small items at the dealer before in order to get the right part. Thanks, Bruce |

Re: Where to get tranny line clip?
Since apparently your local dealership is going to be NO help, you might try a reputable transmission shop since they routinely disconnect these during repairs. Personally, I would remove the line and look for that O-Ring mentioned above. It should have one "somewhere", either on the end of the line itself or captive in the fitting that it plugs into. Either way, you should replace it with one from a hydraulics shop. There are gobs of cheap junk O-Rings out there that will fall apart when exposed to oil. Inspect the original "clip" and if it is not broken re-use it. If it is broken, I would try that clip you mentioned earlier. The clip only retains the line, it does not do the sealing. Good Luck!
