• Q: How to replace the Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Line on 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier?

  A: The automatic transmission oil cooler pipes replacement requires gm specification 123m equivalent double-wrapped and brazed steel pipe that should be double-flared for the installation. Start with raising the vehicle then using a drain pan in position. Remove the transaxle oil cooler pipe at the transaxle unit before removing fittings from the radiator while gently releasing the clip bolt. The new transaxle oil cooler pipes must be installed by achieving correct thread engagement for leak prevention. Fasten the clip bolt with 4 nm torque (27 inch lbs.) before attaching radiator fittings to 45 nm (33 ft. Lbs.). Install the matchstick pipes to their locations while lowering the automobile. Transaxle performance will be damaged by excessive fluid amounts leading to foam formation and fluid loss and shifting problems. Properly adjust the transmission fluid level then inspect the quality of repairs as well as search for any fluid leaks in the system.
