I’m planning on installing one as step two of this project. The article from FourWheeler in particular has some great information about including an additional cooler. These links have a lot of useful information in them, and you should read them.
#HOW TO INSTALL TRANSMISSION LINE CLIPS MANUAL#
The 1997 Jeep Cherokee factory service manual covers the transmission cooler and associated lines on page 21-176. These videos are the basis for how I made these hoses.

While the AN standard makes various brands compatible at the fitting, I don’t think the same is true between the hose and the fitting when assembling hoses. Parts list for conversionĪll of the parts came from Summit Racing and I chose their own house brand of PTFE hose and fittings. This post covers converting the hard lines to soft lines without making any additional modifications. In an upcoming post I’ll cover adding an additional transmission cooler. But, this XJ is a hobby, and so I went all-in and replaced the lines from the transmission to the cooler. This would have let me relocate only a small part of the line. I probably could have cut the factory line that was in the way, flared the new ends, and then added a section of rubber hose with clamps. In order to make room for my winch I needed to replace my factory hard lines with flexible braided hose so that I could relocate them out of the way. Attach it to the line holders, and secure them in place by driving in the bolts with a socket wrench.While installing my Boostwerks Engineering Comp Mount hidden winch, I found that the stock Jeep Cherokee transmission cooler hard lines interfered with my winch placement.
Weave the oil line in through the engine parts again, and line it up with the line holders. Once the old oil cooler hose has been removed, clean off the attachment points. Make sure you do not cut the line when removing it. The oil line is going to be weaved in and around different parts. One of the hardest parts of replacing the oil cooler line, is removing it from the engine compartment. The oil cooler line should then drop away from the frame and the clamps holding it in place. If the oil cooler hose is kept secure with a line holder, use a small socket to remove the retaining bolts. Use a wrench to loosen the coupling and remove the line. Step 3: Disconnect Hose from Oil Panĭepending on where the oil line is going to, disconnect the line from either the oil pan or the transmission. Keep in mind that it may be a little warm to the touch. Be ready for some oil to leak out of the hose. Use a wrench to loosen the coupling, turning in a counterclockwise direction. Slide a drain pan underneath the oil cooler hose connection on the radiator side.
You may find just a single line or a dual line, depending on the type of vehicle you own. Follow the oil cooler hose from the transmission or the oil pan, and trace its route to the radiator. Before you start to disconnect any lines or hoses, you must make sure you know where they are.
