[LAF]

Well after cleaning the car off from last nights dumping of snow here in PA, I head to my brothers to fix my tranny leak. Bro moves his clean GT out into the drive and lets me in the garage. Well first thing the jack that I used to lower my GT would not go under the car! Well it did when we lowered it, ahhh wait I did the front first, then the rear so it fits in the rear not the front, Bro saves the day another jack. Get it up in the air and really take a look at it with the trouble light, no problem, piece of cake, heheheheh,(Bro only snickers, as he has done this) are those little spring clamps a piece of sh*t or what? Well I started on the driverÂ’s side, worked the spring clam back, put the worm clamp on, and then think now what? Asked Bro and he used pliers and pliers and bent the sh*t clamp apart and took them off. Well by this time I am wet from melting snow and salt and say no, I am not messing with that spring steel clamp. I made sure worm clamp was right and then slid the spring clamp right next to it. I did this on both. I figure if I ever need to get there again it will be for a broken hose or major repair, either way the spring clamp is gone. I was scared to death driving in this snow, and worrying if I would hit a snow rut and pull these off. Trust me they are both VERY loose and it would not take much for this to happen in a lowered car. DC should be shot on this one, it is a FUBAR waiting to happen, and if you look around down there you see they used worm clamps on other hoses. At any rate, PITA to do on the ground. Also noticed the drivers side fluid is white (power steering?), and passenger side red (transmission?).

I would hope all of you check them!!!!!!

I remember someone saying it may be from stress of S1?

Any "strait" GT's had this issue?
