I'm trying to locate this part from any online vendor. It's on my 84 300D but sure the same part is used on many other years/models. I think it's called a Transmission line bushing but I can't seem to locate anything on all the parts sites I've visited. It slides on the clips that holds the transmission line in place to keep the clip from rubbing against the line creating a hole in turn leaking. A part # would be great.

Any help would be appreciated. Think there's 6 total required. Hope the photos show well. My last resort will be the dealer which I can do but hoped to find it online first.

Mine disintegrated and rubbed a hole in one of my transmission cooler lines years back. When I replaced the lines I could not find a place to buy these either (I did not go to the dealer however). I ended up using some rubber or Viton line (fuel or vacuum, been too long to remember) in place of these bushings and it is holding up just fine to date.

I found this part number for these "grommets":

Here is what the lack of a grommet did to one of my lines recently:





So it's good you're being proactive about replacing these!

Thanks for the part #. Looks like I'll still be going to the dealer for these

It's a special order item. Plus I don't want to know how much I'll have to shell out to ship a package under 1 pound via UPS, just not worth it to me.

My neighbor works at the dealer so I'll just order it and he'll bring them to me when they arrive. No biggie.
