This is the aft transmission cooler line fitting on my 2002 with the 30RH. Is there a replacement part number for this quick connect fitting on the transmission, and is there an o-ring that also needs to be replaced on that line? I have seen lots of threads for replacing the both lines, but not threads for just replacing that fitting.

I'm leaking about 1 pint of ATF every 800 miles, and after doing an initial cleaning of the trans/t-case, it seems to be coming from general this area. In the near future I am going to drop the skid plate to replace the park-reverse switch, trans fluid & filter, drive shaft u-joints, transmission mount, install a t-case cable shifter, and clean the area very thoroughly.

I want to replace that fitting while I have the skid plate off. Even if it doesn't turn out to be the source of the leak, I would like to eliminate it as a suspect.

I've never had to replace one on a TJ, but an XJ uses a similar (identical?) QD thing and we've replaced that at Autozone before. The QD fitting comes with the o-ring iirc.

Thanks, I think I found what I need!

I looked at all years of TJ's on RockAuto, but all they had were the connectors to convert the hoses to threaded fittings. But then based on your advice, I looked under a 2000 XJ 2.5L on RockAuto, and it lists DORMAN 800714, which looks like what I need. I'm going to give that a shot.

I just had this issue on my 2001 TJ 4.0 A/T. I bought 1/4" stainless lines with a 3/8" male flare on the transmission end. I found several options that would work but I went with 1 adapter in place of using 2 fitting to get transitioned. I found brass adapters; 3/8" female inverted flare fittings x 1/4" male NPT (pipe thread). Anderson Metals Corp #54348-0604, bag of 5 adapters for just under $20. Other Anderson numbers for this part to locate them; 882571& 442372.
