r u having problems sliding them over the adapters? try soaking the ends of the rubber hose in hot water so they stretch easier.. if this is not the case, disregard my message

No I just cant get them in at all. It seems like I would have to bend them to get them in.

when we do transmission flushes at my work I am constantly finding that upon removal I must slightly bend the cooler line to line it back up. It just takes some time and DO NOT rush!

Do I need to undo the exaust or any other parts? There doesn't seem to be enough room between the exaust and the oil pan. I am not sure what to do?????????????

Im not sure whats goin on.... They usually slide right in.

Now I am not talking about the fittings going on I just don't know how to get the new lines into the right spot. They are sill sitting on my table in the garage :-x

Well I ended up taking the old jeep to the shop. After looking at the bottom of it for the better part of 2 days with no luck on getting the trans lines installed I gave up. [smilie=bowdown.gif] Thanks to you all that sent me your advice.
