Re: Any flexible transmission cooler lines

I used hydraulic hose and fittings. 3/8 hose with #6 ends. Do it once and you'll never have any issues. Fairly cheap too.

I did this too. Too many hose clamps that failed or slipped and hard lines are just a pain.

I also use hydraulic hose for the high pressure power steering hose. The aftermarket hoses are all Chinese, and most are crap. It's just one less thing to worry about.
