Currently working on cleaning the transmission filter and swapping the fluid out. Been taking the time to clean up and repaint the pan and skid plate while I have it off, but noticed the rear braided rubber flexible trans cooler lines are soaked. Not sure if they're leaking or if it's some other leak, but figured it's probably a good time to swap them. As far as I can tell the lines (circled in red) are no longer available, is this true or am I just incompetent in finding the correct part numbers?
If they're not longer available what solutions have you seen or come up with to replace them. The fitting looks like the same size as the front connections, 16x1.5mm. I installed some adaptor on front end of the hard lines when I put in a Hayden trans cooler and ran 6AN lines for that. I'm think about just removing the hard lines along the engine block and running AN lines in it's place and moving the adaptor to the rear hard lines. Has anyone done this? Any pros or cons?
