Hi all. My 2006 TJ blew a radiator. I’ve ordered a CSF 3244 which says it will fit. Everything going along fine until I need to reconnect the transmission fluid lines. They don’t screw in. The new rad included two sets of brass nipples that I assume you would put the hose over and clamp. Trouble is my screwed in. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jaxk

I believe the part that "screws in" stays in the radiator. The lines on your '06 are quick disconnect.
 
I’m not understanding how it disconnects, ty

this is what I've found after a googling:

"Dorman 800-605 is the connector needed to mate the OE transmission line to the Spectra radiator. It's a perfect fit."

I assume the same would work for your CSF radiator.
