Hi all,
So my transmission cooling lines were rubbing together and are now leaking.
Was looking to replace them with new ones but cannot quite determine the right part number.
Does anyone here have any info on this ?

Thanks in advance

Why not just cut out the bad part and couple the 2 ends back together?

 

Alloro has the best idea as the lines are most likely no longer available and they would be expensive if they were. About your only other option would be a salvage yard.

 

You could cut out the leaking section or sections.With a tubing cutter. Replace the sections with the rubber transmission line that will slide over the steel tubing. Double clamp each end with the screw tighten band clamps. (use 2 each end) Wire tie the lines together so they can't move. Check the lines from time to time to make sure they are not leaking. The clamps can rust out and fail. Spray them with WD40 / PB Blaster ect to protect them.

 

Mine are rusted at the front under the radiator. I will most likely use a 3/8 compression to 3/8 barn and put some transmission hose in there. They sell some fittings for adding coolers. I think they are made by Derale? Probably put something together at the hardware store too.

 

Autozone sells them,atleast without the aux trans cooler setup. Bought the set of lines for my 98 last fall, if they have stopped selling them since then, then you are right.

I guess from my earlier post, they can get them for both aux and regular style coolers.
