    I leave for FL in 2 weeks and I had a leak so I was going to take off the tranny cooler line and see why the line was leaking. As soon as I started unscrewing it the fitting that goes into the transmision's casing SNAPPED right off. I have this stupid hurricane coming in a few hours and it's supposedly gonna snow right after it and I dont even know where to begin on how to get this damn thing out.

    The tranny is a 1998 verison with the screw in fittings. Taking the trans out is also not an option since I already put in my two weeks in at work and I can't be spending loads of money.

    Use an easy out. You can pick up the fittings at an advance or such.
