I remember seeing those as well. The main problem is I was never able to find any in the size I need. The largest I found were for 3/8" connectors, when the oil cooler lines are 14mm. For the moment I just put new o-rings in the old connectors, which was more of a p.i.t.a. than I would've imagined, and reinstalled them without the plastic piece on one of them. It won't be too difficult to get it back off again, as the retaining springs are fairly accessible. Another repercussion of not being able to find new connectors is that I ended up ordering new lines. Really too expensive for what they are, but without new connectors I wasn't going to feel too good about reconditioning the lines that were there. I'll install them the next time I drain and fill the ATF fluid. Anyhow, for the record, I want to document that the correct o-rings for the oil cooler connectors are
14mm x 2.5mm, that is 14mm ID and 2.5mm on the thickness/cross-section. I was unable to find this information anywhere and thought it should be made available.
