2000 Chevrolet Lumina Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the auxiliary automatic transmission oil cooler line on 2000 Chevrolet Lumina?

  A: Assessments for replacing the auxiliary a/t oil cooler hose should begin with raising the vehicle to provide enough room to work on the transaxle oil cooler pipes and hoses and stop fluid leaks due to damage or wear. Unscrew the auxiliary transaxle oil cooler hose clamps before detaching the hose and pipe from the transaxle oil cooler hose and pipe. The next task involves removing the auxiliary transaxle oil cooler hose and pipe bracket from the lower radiator support before removing the fittings from the same hose and pipe. During installation users must properly engage the threads to prevent crossthreading that could produce leaks. Fit the auxiliary transaxle oil cooler hose and pipe components onto the cooler unit and torque them to 23 nm (17 ft. Lbs.). Install the hose clamps after connecting the auxiliary transaxle oil cooler hose and pipe with the transaxle oil cooler hose and pipe. Adjust the fluid level carefully while the vehicle is lowered because excessive fluid level creates foaming as well as loss of fluid and shift complaints that could damage the transaxle. The inspection process should verify that repair work is finished correctly and examine the vehicle for liquid leakages.
