Transmission cooler lines Reply #15 – March 08, 2013, 09:39:00 AM I had the trans cooler lines rust through and fail on my 88 TC. Trying to remake the lines in one piece and replace them with the motor installed in my garage was completely out of the realm of possibility. I had to cut them in pieces just to get them out. I went to NAPA and replaced all the lines with their rubber transmission lines and barbed fittings on the ends. Worked great. Just make sure you get hoses made for transmission fluids. If you are going to patch the existing, per Tom's recommendation, I would definitely bulb the line where you are going to splice it. Quote Selected

The only thing I would add is to make sure it's a 6 point socket.......less chance of rounding it off.....you only get one chance.Thanks i thought that was a GIVEN. Forgot to say 6 Point. Thanks for correcting my post. Basically i really do not use to many 12 pointers. I have them but normally i use the 6 jobs. thanks Tom Quote Selected
