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!!

Looks like the fuel line clip to me. Mine have a teeny metal
spring clip and a plastic carrier.

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. Tried calling a local hydraulic hose shop?

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.

Whoops... I meant 95 not 85. Thanks for the info... I'll have to check
that. And to think all these years it could have been something as
simple as an o-ring! I hope that's the case.

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
