Can anyone tell me how to disconnect the tranny cooler lines from the rigid ones mounted to the radiator? Looks like there is some kind of yellow plastic deal holding it in? Thanks.

I was trying to figure that out just the other day. Couldn't make it happen and didn't want to bust anything so I just unscrewed the entire line right at the radiator, I believe they are either 3/4 or 13/16 nuts.

They're quick connects.
You can try squezzing the tips while gently wiggleing the line.
or you can but the disconnect tool set at sears or pepboys.

Fyi on good deal for replacement radiator. Last time I got one, I got it at radiators.com. Check the Mm out. Lifetime warranty with a few limits and cheap too.

Well I got it replaced after a bit of a struggle with the tranny cooler lines. Turns out that you have to squeeze the tabs in and wiggle the line off. Worked well after I wrecked the first one getting it out and could see what it was. Napa and Advance Auto had the replacement clips. I got my radiator at www.radiatorbarn.com. They had the cheapest one ($150) without the aux. tranny cooler mounted accross the front. www.radiators.com only had the one with the aux. tranny cooler accross the front ($260 or so) and they said this was all that was made now. A little research goes a long way. Thanks for the help.
