Tranny flush - hose clip question V70-XC70

Just did a normal tranny flush for the first time on my '98 V70R at 200k. Went from black to red fluid, flushed about 16 qts and she's shifting very well.

But what's up with that clip that connects the hose? Is there an easy way or a trick that I need to know to use this thing? I had bought a new one, ended up snapping it and then had to reuse the old one.

Cheers,

Wes

    Hello, FYI: A poster reused his clip (aluminum cage type-not the green plastic) as you did and added a zip tie because some of the spring tension was lost. Does yours fit without rattling about? Felt good to get that crud out of there, didn't it? Kira

      Yes, I reused it last night with no problem. Today I'll add a metal band hose clip to it to tighten it down and hold it. It's not rattling around but it's definitely lost a little grip.

      And the shifting is great. So much black fluid come out. Does feel great to get that out.

      Cheers,

      Wes

    You spread it too far. I use C clip pliers to spread the clamp, just enough to put it on the hose end. Then shove the hose against the radiator until the clamp goes 'clip'.
