Ford Taurus and Windstar FIT403

FIT403 must be installed at the transmission in Ford Taurus and Windstar and in the Mercury Sable. For some 1993

and newer vehicles, use the larger diameter fitting in FIT403 (see Figure 60) with FIT321 used as the female side.

For some 1993 and older use the smaller diameter fitting in FIT403.

CAUTION: These fittings are a matched set and must be kept together in the small plastic box marked FIT403.

CAUTION: Do not remove the quick connect receptacle located

on the radiator of the Ford Windstar, Taurus, and Mercury Sable.

On some of those vehicles, the receptacle fitting holds the cooler

inside the radiator tank. Removing the receptacle will allow

radiator coolant to leak out.

The quick connect may be released. The transmission cooler line

can be removed and fitted with the appropriate

T-TECH fitting.

However, most of the vehicles leave very little room to work so the

recommended fitting hookup is at the transmission itself. The

cooling at the transmission can be removed and fitted with the

appropriate

T-TECH fitting.

Instructions

1. Remove the transmission cooling line.

2. Insert the appropriate FIT403 fitting (see Figure 60) into

the receptacle and continue pushing until the plastic clip

in the receptacle engages the fitting.

3. Install a service adapter hose on the FIT403 fitting and

another on the vehicle transmission cooling line, using

FIT321. Clamp both in place and start service.

Ford Windstar FIT406

FIT406 fittings (Figure 61) have two thin grooves cut into the flats to identify them.

CAUTION: These fittings are a matched set and must be kept together in the small plastic box marked FIT406.

Windstar, Taurus, Dodge Dakota, some Ford 1981 and up and many GM and Chrysler models use various snap-in

connectors for the cooling lines. Field experience has found the most effective way to remove these fittings is by

the procedure identified below.

CAUTION: Do not remove the quick connect receptacle

located on the radiator of the Ford Windstar, Taurus, and

Mercury Sable. On some of those vehicles, the receptacle

fitting holds the cooler inside the radiator tank. Removing the

receptacle will allow radiator coolant to leak out.

The quick connect may be released. The transmission cooler

line can be removed and fitted with the appropriate

T-TECH

fitting. However, most of the vehicles leave very little room to

work so the recommended fitting hookup is at the transmission

itself. The cooling at the transmission can be removed and

fitted with the appropriate

T-TECH fitting.

Instructions

1. Spray WD-40 or similar oil into and around the fitting.

This lubricates the captive o-ring.

2. Remove the transmission cooling line from the

radiator.

3. Attach FIT406 Female to the cooling line.

4. Attach FIT406 Male to the radiator or transmission.

5. Install a service adapter hose on each fitting, clamp

both in place and start service.
