So I was changing my radiator today and got everything off. The only issue I have is the Transmission lines right now.
I was starting to reinstall and realized that the mark I put on the lines to distinguish which was which came off. There are two of them on the 2.2 Liter GT. I need to now which one goes where. If someone could send me a picture of this or a description that would be awesome. |

i dont think it really matters, but one should be bent different or reach farther than the other.

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

Replied to your thread on celicatech.com, but as a follow-up, I'd suggest tightening up the nuts on the hardlines on the radiator. My replacement rad wasn't fully torqued down at those points -- probably to allow rotation of the pipes if necessary -- and leaked transmission fluid until I applied a wrench.

no one panic i got the job done... the radiator i got from napa was a universal radiator and it had brass tubes for the auto trans lines but the guy said nothing will come out and so far its working...no drainage or anything i guess ill just leave them be.
