A couple of problems

I own an 85 bronco xlt with a 351HO-C6-NP208 and I have a few problems that I would like some advice on.


First of all, the flexible brake line in the rear that goes from the 'T' and goes to the frame busted today because my exhaust hanger broke and the wobbling exhaust pipe tore it. My question is first of all, is this a standard 'universal' brake line that I could buy at NAPA or a simlar place. Also, about how much will a replacement cost if i bought it from the dealer(I'm 16 and just a little short on money)?

My second question is about a leak that recently started on my bronco. Fluid is dripping from the front 'edge' of the transmission and I haven't really looked too closely at it or tried to figure out what kind of fluid it is. I really hope it isnt the rear seal because I just put a crate engine in there about 30,000 miles ago. I am hoping that it is just the tranny since i'm rebuilding it soon. Your input and opinion is appreciated.

Ok, my last question is about my transfer case. I have a fairly new NP208 under my bronco, and sometimes it is really hard to shift into 4-LO. Even if i get it shifted into 4-LO, it will pop out and very inconvinient times. I changed the fluid in the T-Case figuring it might help a little, but it didn't change a thing. What could be causing the transfer case to pop out of gear like this?


I would like to thank ya'll in advance for your responces.

Brake lines are brake lines....hit NAPA and make new ones.

Your tranny could be leaking....I don't know.

Your NP 208 linkage could be out of adjustment or the bad news...the insides of the NP 208 are known to wear.
