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!

I have always replaced and repaired tranny cooler line with the 'rubber'
version. It works great and fits on with clamps. The also make 'high
pressure' worm gear clamps now or I use two regular ones side by side.

You're saying forget the quick-disconnect type fitting and just use
the hose with a few hose clamps? I've considered doing this...
