WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Monterey and 2004 Ford Freestar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Insert the tubes in the transaxle fittings to seat the retaining tabs. Slightly pull back on the tubes to make sure that the tubes are locked.
