Tranny Line QD Replacement and NAPA

Need some quick help, trying to take XJ on 5 hours trip to WV on Friday. I've done lots of searching but have a few questions. Long story short, both QD fittings leak at the tranny end. I have already cut out the factory rubber hoses and replaced with trans hose to repair a leak there.

Options are:
Seal kit from dealer at $20 a pop
Napa lines

Do the Napa lines replace the QD fittings altogether (meaning you remove the hex adapters from the trans), or do you still need a seal kit? If the Napa lines replace the factory QD fittings, I'd rather do that.

Also, Napa sells a Transmission Cooler Fitting Kit, which has a male and female to barb fitting adapter. Any clue what this is for. Doesn't look like it screws into trans.

Just called the dealer, repair kit for the o-rings is discontinued and no replacement available. Line assembly is $75 and $70 each.

Called Napa. My buddy their says he has several of the repair kits in stock. I will post the Part # if it is the correct one. I have searched for several hours for a part number with no luck.

NAPA called. They do not have a kit for the QD o-rings. He was looking at a fuel line repair kit. He has lines in stock, but they are setup for the QD at the tranny end, and do not include the o-ring kit with them. I don't need the lines, just the QD kit at the trans end.

Does anyone know where to find a kit? I think I may have lost one of the plastic pieces.

Help!!!!!!!!!!
I have never spent a freaking month rebuilding and installing an engine. This has been a nightmare, 1 problem after the next. About to throw a damn match in the tank.

I just repaced both QD at the tranny with parts from NAPA. I think they were about $11 each and worked great with the stock lines. I am running a '89 and tried to go to a 3/8" barbed fitting right into the tranny and found the thread is not a standard thread. It is a metric thread because that tranny we all think is a AW4 is in all reality an A340 toyota tranny, which Jeep bought and renamed the AW4. I finally gave up trying to find the metric fittings and bought the NAPA parts and the screwed right into the transmission itself. the stock lines push right into them. Then I took the tranny lines to a transmission shop and had them put a double flare on the other ends where I had cut the stock rubber lines to keep the aftermarket cooler lines from coming off. Woked great.

Do you have the part #? my local napa cannot locate these anywhere.

I don't have them here at work, but may still have them at home and could post later. If I can even find the sales ticket. Best I can do for ya!


EDIT:
I was able to call NAPA on break and got P/N=730-5027...... This is for an '89. Good luck!

That would be great. I did a search on napaonline.com for "cooler", and pulled up Transmission Oil Cooler Hardware, and there are 5 adapters listed, but not sure if one of these is the one you are talking about. If you have a moment, can you look online and see if the pictures look like the one you bought. Thanks.

Refer to "Edit" last post!

NAPA online doesn't even show that P/N. I called NAPA in Peoria, AZ 623-979-3363. Good luck!

If you search for 7305027 (without the dash), it pulls up Transmission Shift Linkage Clip. It looks like an cooler line adapter of sorts.

Check out Stu Olson's AW-4 swap into a TJ. http://stu-offroad.com/engine/aw-4/aw-4-1.htm Page 2 shows what he did (and the parts used) to change away from our overpriced hard lines.

That's the one. They are nice. They have a metal clip that holds the stock tranny lines vs. the crappy plastic ones. Cool!!!!!!!!!!

Stu did what I wanted to. He was able to find the parts I could not...... Oh well..... Too late. Look pretty cool though.

Thanks for the info. The write up is pretty informative. At least gives me some options.

I called another dealer 45 minutes away, and they had one of the repair kits, and got a second one same day. Picked them up yesterday. They wanted $28 each over the phone, but only charged me $20 each once I got there. Apparently they are a redesign. Mine had a black cone shape piece in front of the gray retaining clip, the new one has the cone shape built into the black retaining clip. One o-ring was missing, and another was torn in half. Pulled out the ld stuff, shoved the new stuff in, no leaking

I installed a tranny cooler, and eliminated the radiator cooler completely while I was at it. Should be ready to tow my utility trailer with all of my gear for camping.

Dorman (Part # 800-714) and Napa (Part # 7305027) make a complete unit (about $12 each), you just pull your lines out, remove the hex shape adapters from the tranny, and replace the complete adapter unit with o-rings already installed. Nobody in my area stocked the adapters, and I'm leaving for a 5 hour trip to WV tomorrow. Couldn't take a chance of getting the wrong part if I had to order them. Any parts store that has a "HELP" section can order Dorman parts.

Anyway, thanks everyone for the input.

Those fitting on Stu Olsons site are standard SAE ORB (o-ring boss) and AN fittings that can be found at any hydraulics supplier. They are probably cheaper from a local supplier than a race shop.
