Krambo Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Let me know if you find out anymore info on this. I would really like to run the lines away from the headders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwalls54 Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 sad thing i did nothing.

mwalls54 Posted May 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Well i Found out what the problem was. the factory flare that goes into the tranny weakned and cracked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Use hot-oil hydraulic hose (available at any auto parts store), slip over the remaining steel line and use 2 screw/band clamps oriented 180-degrees to each other and that will prevent leaks. You can also unscrew the brass adapter fitting from the side of the tranny case and replace with a brass barbed-hose fitting (find at better hardware/plumbing stores), use a paste type of thread sealer when assembling to prevent leaks and be careful not to overtighten into the aluminum case.
