Tranny Return Hose



Hi everyone . Been a while.

Am installing a 6.0 IC and tranny cooler. Need your input on the tranny return line.
I have 3/8" high temp Gates power sterring hose and wont to make certain this will work, and not deteriorate, with Tranny fluid.

O'reillys said it will work on the tranny side. Really don't trust the counter guys and gals.

the 7.3 power steering uses ATF so i would think you are safe.

Most power steering systems use ATF. If it is good for power steering it will be fine for transmission.
