I have a mechanic working on my car however they're taking an extending amount of time of replacing a busted radiator because they tell me they cannot get the transmission cooler lines back into the radiator. I know what a transmission cooler is but I can't seem to understand why the lines wouldn't just fit right back? Is there anything special that needs to be done?

 

i had the same problem happen to my cts this morning the transmission coolant line came un connected from the radiator, it seems there is a plastic piece missing from the male end on the hose and the female end on the radiator, and i dont know which part to replace to obtain that plastic connecter that connects the two....is that similar to ur prolem>?
