Details
What's wrong: The rubber tube that connects the transmission to the transmission oil cooler (in the radiator) may disconnect causing discharge of fluid.
Why it matters: Discharged transmission fluid may strike the exhaustmanifold or the exhaust pipe and result in a fire.
The fix: Install revised line and clamps to improve line retention to the transmission.
