looking for a OIL RETURN HOSE TRANSMISSION TO TRANSFER CASE fast

[Devilmans Hand]

Hey folks

Just noticed that my transmission oil is high and my transfer case oil is low.
Does anyone have a OIL RETURN HOSE TRANSMISSION TO TRANSFER CASE that they'd sell me quick?
The kind that connects the filler holes of the transmission and transfer case
on my fj40 w/o any drilling/tapping.

Thanks

I have not looked at this for a few years but i think i remember reading that napa will make it for you. Search the forty threads its in there somewhere.

Some NAPAs will, but i have yet to find one that will make anything. More and more places are turning into just parts houses instead. If you know of one please let me know.

I'll look around.

I can't remember the name but there is a place in Manasass right off 66 that makes hoses. That is all they do. For the life of me I can't remember the name. Some one here suggested it to me for my power steering hose.

Clorafax or something. I will see if I can did it up.

Ah ha!

Go see Ron. Talk to him about his Camaro and he'll hook you up. I don't know that they like to do onesies but he will.

Yeah, funny I went there and the dude is a guy I knew from my gas station days. He was a bit older and had the beautiful Camaro and ran Total Auto Parts on Pickett Rd in Fairfax back in the 80s. He didn't remember me but we know all the same people, shops and cars.

Sam, hope this helps. This is a pic from Bsevans' writeup on his making of the return hose. Mine has push lock ends on the fittings instead of a crimp as shown.

Found the pertinent post from his writeup:

The hose is a steel braided -08 Parker "Tough Cover". The centerline distance between the fittings is 15" to 15.25". I made two, and they both fit. The short one is currently in place. The fittings are 37 Deg Flared Compression Tube Fitting, Tube X Male Metric For 1/2" Tube, M18 X 1.5 straight Pipe. McMaster-Carr p/n4545K223 at a cost of $11.44 each (pg 144). The hose with two 90 degree crimp fittings installed plus two steel caps so I can remove the hose without having to remove the adapters was $35. About what you would pay at either MAF ($55) or SOR ($65). This hose is meant to carry hydraulic fluid that is above 200 degrees. The fittings from McMaster-Carr have an outer steel washer with an inner rubber o-ring that seals against the tranny and transfer fill ports.

Cool. And a short drive from my house (for once).
