Looks like I nicked one of my transmission hoses when I was doing my alternator yesterday. I need to get that hose replaced as soon as possible. I have no idea what size it is. I’m kind of cramped for time. I have work tomorrow. Anybody wanna tell me what that hose part number is for 2000 Land Cruiser 100 series?
Right up underneath the skid plate you can see it looking from the top down near radiator hose connects to the radiator also

I clip this off a random YouTube video. It shows exactly the hose I punctured. I did it when I was squeezing out my alternator.

I’d just pull the hose and go to a hose shop- they’ll make what you need
 
It's <32941-60190> but it is discontinued.

The 3/8" power steering hose should be okay in the transmission cooler application (yours). However, it's a bit smaller than OE at 10mm.
 
It is easy enough to just measure the OD of the hard line.
I pulled a piece of hose off that’s probably 24 years old and I think it may ever be so slightly expanded. The one I had in my hand is the closest fit I could find I hope I don’t do any harm by installing that one
This is all one big rush. I didn’t have anything to measure with so I just shoved an ink pen down in there and it seems to fit about the same in both hoses.

Thanks, although all replies were helpful, this was VERY helpful (the 3/8 10mm part). I looked around my garage, I had recollected having a similar hose, and FOUND IT!. All fixed now, and miraculously I had a 3/8 10 mm hose OEM sitting in my garage! Can you believe that? It was same hose, but it had a bend in it, and a sleeve. I just cut out the bend, and presto fits! I took the 9.65 mm 3/8 hose that I bought for $5.29 at Advanced Auto and I beat myself with it.

All this was quite a panic for me. I only have one main vehicle, so it's always do or die when something is wrong with it. I depend on it highly to get me to my job, which is why I chose it. LAND CRUISER RELIABILITY. I still believe. @medtro @hoser both thank you for the fast responses. you know how it is when you are flooded with panic and work is tomorrow. if if your responses could not help anything, at least there was support. but all the replies here did help.

Glad to be of help. If all else failed, the trail fix would be to just loop a piece of hose back into the other connection and bypass the radiator and transmission cooler altogether. Just make sure the hose has a gentle curve (not kinked) and is zip-tied so the fan doesn't catch it. And also drain and collect all the excess fluid in the cooler.
