AN-6 hose is approximately 3/8" ID , so it would be fine for trans cooler lines, as long as you use good quality hose that is rated for the pressure and temperature.

As Eddie H. said, AN -6 is equivalent to 3/8" hard line so that is the correct size.

Thanks for clearing that up guys...

I was trying to avoid running the hardlines up to the radiator to keep it looking clean up there. Ive talked to several guys using this same setup with no issues.

This is the cooler im going to be running.
