I would put a light coat of new ATF on the new o-ring before slipping the tubes together as well, just to ease assembly and keep it from binding up and getting pinched.

Alright I will be sure to look into that, I have some relatives that know about cars and will help me, I will tell them what you said to do and hopefully they'll understand and know how to help me.
