Trans Lines Leaking At Transmission End

[Dando]

So when swapping my aw4 from my 95 to my 90mj I used the lines from the MJ. I have a leak from both lines where they enter the trans. I have replaced the plastic quick connects twice because the lines were popping off, now I have them safety wired on and they haven't popped.

 

Right now all I have on the trans lines are the plastic quick connects, am I missing an oring or a seal?

IIRC, there is suppose to be an O-ring or two on the end that seals the line into the opening.  It's common for the O-rings to become stuck within the inlet/outlet and it's plausible they could have simply fallen off upon removal of those lines.

^^^This...and the "seal" of the line consists of 2 o-rings and a spacer sandwiched between them.  So when reassembling it, you'd slide an o-ring on the male end...then the spacer...then the other o-ring.  Anything less and it will NOT seal...and likely fall out.  "Safety wiring" it on there is not really a fix.

 

Now, if you've lost the spacer (don't ask) you'll either have to buy the whole connector (the plastic part, 2 o-rings, spacer) or go to the junk yard and swipe one off an existing tranny as the spacer itself is almost (if not comepletely) impossible to find alone.  The o-rings you can buy a the hardware store or auto parts store (Nitrile/Buna-N/Viton) in the correct size and thickness.
