700r4 Cooling lines
Well I just replaced my 700r4 transmission and I tried to install my 2 fluid cooling lines that go on the tv cable side. They just won't fit and won't screw on. I am stuck on what to do. I think they could be bent but I don't want to spend money on new ones if there not. Any help would be appreciated.

its kind of a lame way to do it , but you can cut them and slide some fuel line over the ends with hose clamps, better to get the car up high enough and with a good light , manuver them around till they thread in, that way uou dont have to re-do them later , specially with a new trans.

First, clean the threads the best you can and try to get them in again.
If you have to cut the lines, as a last resort, use compression fitting to reconnect the lines or transmission rubber lines which is a little better than fuel line and specifically for transmission fluid.
