anyone know where i can get the clips that hold the trans lines into the push in fittings. they look like a paper clip bent in to a square and overlapped on one side.

 

Maybe a parts store or the parts department at the dealer.

 

nothing there im going to try a junk yard after work

 

i have a complete set of extra lines for a 2nd gen, if you can send me a pic of what you need, i can check to see if i still have them

 

I found the clips, they are for the lines coming off the front cooler only on early 95 and older trucks. Ive decided im going to compleatly replace the trans lines with braded and good fittings. The stealership quoted me just for the newer style push in lines the type you need a tool to take off, for the two lines and the fitting off the block mounted cooler was $300 not including the new hard lines that run along the block. And the other line that runs from the trans to the block mounted cooler was $95.

 

could of cut the ends off and used stainless swedge lock and fitted up to hydraulic hose, a lot less expensive just a little more time involved.
