Original Automatic Transmission Cooling Lines

[SirDoopYJ]

Anyone still have their original lines and have a photo of what the cooling lines are suppose to look like where it attaches to the radiator? Mine currently has rubber hoses with screw on clamps from PO. I would like to find a better solution because my driver side came off while driving it, even though it had this set up for a year I have been driving .

Mine has the same thing, rubber line and hose clamp.

Make sure you are using trans cooler line not generic "dumbass at the auto parts store its all the same stuff" and try some fuel injection type clamps that are full circle bands and typically stronger than the worm drives type.

This is what I have. Does it need to be over the flare or pushed against the flare? @Gilaguy23 Are you talking about the constant tension rings?

It definitely needs to be past the flair. Once the hose clamp is tightened after you get it past the flair, that flair is what keeps it on.

Alright, thanks. I will need to get a wider transmission hose. It is way too tight to fit over the flair on the radiator side.
