Materials:
* Copper or aluminum tubes (same diameter and length as the original ones)
* Fittings for connecting tubes
* Coolant for automatic transmission
Tools:
* Pipe cutter
* Wrench or screwdriver
* Soldering iron or torch
* Flux
Steps:
1. Drain the coolant from the automatic transmission. Locate the drain plug and drain the liquid into a suitable container.
2. Disconnect the original cooling pipes. Find where the coolant pipes are attached to the automatic transmission and radiator. Using a wrench or screwdriver may make removal easier.
3. Clean the detachable surfaces. Remove any dirt or oil residue from the surfaces where the new tubes will be installed.
4. Determine the length and diameter of the required tubes. Use the original tubes as templates to determine the length and diameter of replacement tubes.
5. Cut the tubes to size. Use a pipe cutter or hacksaw to cut the tubes to the required length.
6. Connect the tubes to the fittings. Apply flux to the ends of pipes and fittings. Connect the tubes to the fittings by soldering or welding.
7. Connect the tubes to the automatic transmission and radiator. Insert the tubes into the appropriate holes and secure them with fasteners.
8. Fill with coolant. Fill the automatic transmission with coolant to the specified level.
9. Start the engine and check for leaks. Check all cooling pipe connections for leaks. Tighten fittings if necessary.
Adviсe:
* Use high quality copper or aluminum tubes.
* Do not overtighten fittings as this may damage the tubing.
* Check the coolant level some time after installation to ensure there are no leaks.
