Detailed Description

Dorman 800-601 is an automatic transmission oil cooler line connector engineered to restore the connection between the transmission and the oil cooler after the original part becomes damaged, corroded, or begins to leak. The steel body and OE-style end configurations help maintain proper fluid routing in the cooler line circuit. This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 905-200 for the same application.

Use this connector when servicing transmission cooler line leaks on Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, and Ford Windstar models listed in the fitment data. It is a practical replacement for vehicles that require a 0.375 in quick-disconnect end and an 11/16 in -20 UN male-thread end. The Dorman 800-601 part number is also useful when searching for a direct replacement cooler line connector by application.

What It Helps Repair

• Transmission fluid leaks at the cooler line connection
• Damaged or corroded original oil cooler line fittings
• Loose or unreliable connection between the transmission and radiator cooler
• Fluid loss caused by a failed threaded or quick-disconnect interface
• Service issues on Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, and Ford Windstar cooler line routing

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the end styles, thread size, and vehicle application before installation. This connector uses a quick-disconnect attachment on one end and a male-thread attachment on the other, so the mating line and radiator connection must match the listed specifications. Clean the sealing surfaces and inspect the cooler line for wear or damage before assembly.
