So after I got my kit, with no teflon or instructions...I wrote MAF and asked about hose clamps and seals for the fill hole ends..no reply.
So I did not use any sealer on the threads..no leaks, been on for 6 months (which is less than 1K miles).
I had a @#%***!! of a time getting the hoses on the L fittings. using a vise and pliers I still did not get the hose all the way on the fitting. So, I used hose clamps. If the inner coating can be harmed by a hose clamp I sure as hell ruined it trying to get the hose on the fitting, (lubed it up still too tight). So in my case the hose clamp may be harmful but it is a moot point since I ruined the hose putting it on. In the long run I'll change the interior seal before the hose deteriorates. This is a good thread..should be included in the FAQ about the tranny/transfer fix..
