replacing trans lines
I just noticed that one of my trans lines is leaking near the radiator. Very small leak but I want to fix it. Is this something I can do with a floor jack and stands or do I need to put it on a lift? It leaks on the passenger side. I don't know which line is leaking. Any info is greatly appreciated.

A lift is always nice but stands work ok. Just wipe the lines off and go for a short run and then check them out. If it's leaking where they go into the radiator, don't hog down on them or you will really have a problem. Just loosen them slightly and then snug them up CAREFULLY. It's a reverse flare and if you mess up the flare you will need a radiator shop to make the fix. Good luck, Rod
