New member from Peoria, IL please help!!
Ok So I have a 1996 Honda Accord EX 2.2L. Recently had a new radiator put in it. Then, the line that runs from the transmission to the radiator came loose at the fitting on the bottom of the radiator. So the same idiot that installed it, then "fixed it" by tightening the line back up, but when he did that, it warped the fitting that the hose goes into. So all my transmission fluid has leaked out... AGAIN! I can not find the name of this part. I am pretty sure it actually came with the radiator itself. I really don't want to buy a new radiator just for the little part that came with it, Its about 2-3 inches long, is aluminum and slightly bent. please help!!!!

Welcome to HAF.
I've got a few of those in the garage some where. Usually aftermarket rad's come with those fittings,,,,,but if you have a manual trans you don't need them. Me being a pack rat, I kept them over the years.
You might stop by a rad shop and see if they have a "spare" laying around the might let you have for a cheap price.
Also, just me but since you are there. You might buy some new hose....be sure it is rated for trans use - DO NOT USE FUEL LINE...and replace the rubber line. Now you will lose some trans fluid in doing this.....question, when was the last time the trans fluid was changed, pretty simple drain and fill process on these so something to think about.
