go to your local auto parts store, by two 5/16" inverted flare to hose barb fittings, and by 8 feet of 5/16" ATF hose (not gas line).
You won't be able to find an OEM line, and the ones in the junkyard are probably rusted as well.
You could also bend they yourself out of tubing, but as I found out, that sux. That is why part of mine ATF lines are steel, and the last part is rubber ATF tubing.
If you wanted to get real nice, have a hydraulic hose&fitting place make you some lines out of "push on" hose. tough stuff.

I'm cheap and it usually costs me in the long run of things but, you can also go to the parts store and buy some rubber "transmission" line, in the right size for your application. Get some extra, it's not expensive, then cut the bad spot out and replace it with the line and a couple of hose clamps.

The bad thing about that much rubber line is that it is ok for short runs, but when you have that much length, it is more prone to rupture and/or burst. I realize that we aren't talking racing here, but NHRA regulations don't allow over 12" for that reason.
Do you have the line, is it damaged, or missing? You could simply fix the problem with your existing line, unless it is rusted out, then you have to find enough good line to fix with. What part of Wisconsin are you in? I may be able to get a line or if you want, both of them to you, my wife will be near Milwaukee next Wednesday night. Shipping on something like that would be pretty painful...

100 psi isn't much? many trnnys run that kind of pressure. Sure, not at idle, but it comes up when you are on the road. Fuel lnes run at 7psi on carbed units, and NHRA doesn't allow over 12" of that for a reason.I have run rubber hose for trans line, but not that much length, and inevitably it will leak, and back to the problem. It is better to fix right than to shortcut and wish you hadn't.

I can't see tranny lines running at 100psi, unless you are tapping in at the pressure test fitting on the side. However, like I said, if using rubber tranny line bothers you, go to your local hydraulic shop and get two lengths of push on hose with fittings. Probably would be $40 tops. It handles my motor's oil pressure through my remote oil filter adapter, so I'm sure it will handle the tranny cooling lines.
