• Q: How to replace the Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Line on 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier?

  A: The replacement of Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Pipes must use double-wrapped and brazed steel pipe according to GM specification 123M or equivalent standards when employing double-flared connections. First raise the vehicle and position a drain pan before supportively placing it. The transaxle procedure begins with unthreading the transaxle oil cooler pipe then proceeding to unscrew fittings from the radiator before removing the clip bolt and finally extracting the pipes. Install the pipes by correctly mating threads since crossthreading could make the fittings leak. Secure the clip bolt to 4 Nm (27 inch lbs.), followed by the radiator fittings tightened to 45 Nm (33 ft. lbs.). The new pipes should be installed at this time. Protect the hoses while attaching them to pipes and lower your vehicle until you inspect the transaxle level to avoid overfilling because this might produce foam which results in fluid loss along with shifting problems and possible equipment damage. Conclude fluid level adjustment before inspecting the repair work and looking for leakages.
