Did my Allison fluid change which included flush and deep-pan install. Project was a bit intimidating but went very smoothly thanks to Hoot and others out there that share info on this forum.
One question for the experts. The 5/8 cooler line, which came apart and went back together easily during the flush, seems loose. However, it doesn't leak a drop. Tried researching it on the web but found no explanation. I'm the type of person that can not leave something alone if I don't understand it. I want to take it apart again and see how it works so I can feel better about the fact that it is so loose. The other three connections, one at the trans. and two at the cooler (on the radiator), seem much more tight. The removal and re-install of the line went just how it was described on the forum. It was pushed in fully and snapped into place, just like it was supposed to. Like I said, hasn't leaked a drop but I just don't feel good about the fact that it feels so loose.
Can someone please put my mind to rest and explain how these "jiffy-tite" connections work so I don't go and take it apart again to figure it out myself. It would save me from making a big mess and wasting that expensive Synthetic fluid I installed.
Thanks in advance to anyone that responds.
