Trans cooler hard line (discontinued?) (1 Viewer)

[98 SNAKE EATER]

Haven't driven my baby in about 2 months thanks to the gas prices

200 mile daily commute is killing me even in my beater

Last week I noticed a few drops of red stuff on my garage floor coming from the drivers side

Put her up on a lift today and found a small drip coming from one of the two short hard lines that run through the hole in the core support (#8 in this diagram)

According to our compooter, it's discontinued and my local stealership won't answer their damn phone on a Saturday

Anyone know where I can source one of these online so I can get it done next weekend?

Also, I figure I can just replace all of the rubber hoses with high temp bulk hose

Can someone confirm the size? (Im guessing 3/8 ID)

Someone in the classifieds had some rust free pulls available recently.

Mine were rusted pretty bad. I ended up bypassing that part altogether and ran my hoses through the core support wrapped in an additional section of silicon hose for protection from chafing. I used 3/8 gates transmission cooler hose and 3/4 inch silicone heater hose.

Did a trans cooler delete cuz it was hammered dogsh*t anyway. So you’re welcome to my left over parts. PM me your address. Btw, I had a leak there when I got my POS 7 years ago. Hella hard to get to spot. Easier to pull it all and attach a hose then reinstall.

Thanks for the info

I was wondering how much room I had to play with cause it's difficult to see without pulling the battery tray

If I can't locate a new one or a used one in decent condition, I may very well bypass it too

If not wanting to stay Toyota, any Hydraulic shop would be able to get you fixed do up.

Big thanks to Saito for sending this out to me

Gunna throw some paint on it and hopefully get it installed this weekend

I had ordered 10ft of braided 3/8" trans cooler hose, but I guess I should've confirmed I.D. as what I got is too small

Ordered up some 1/2" of the same (should arrive tomorrow)

I just hope I don't snap any bolts on whatever I have to remove to get to it

Been busy traveling back and forth to Orlando, but finally got her into the shop today.

Original hoses were actually in great condition, so I opted to keep them instead of replacing.

Again, big thanks to Saito for sending out what I needed
