My jeeps tranny lines where rubbing together and now it leaks how i do change the line i am thinking cut the holy park and slip a 3 inch rubber hose on and clamp it. It is in a straight part of the line
Replacing metal Tranny lines with rubber hose

If the bad section is in the metal tubing part use a brass female union coupling, compression style with the brass ferules. We got them at Home Depot in the plumbing section. Also use some teflon tape over the ferule to get a perfect seal.

I forgot to mention you need a tube cutter to cut out the bad spot, and it needs to be a straight area, not a bend that is damaged.

Yep, brass couplings...added a gauge. All rubber from this point forward, no more stupid disconnects. No leaks at all since installing.

FWIW ... It says "transmission cooler" on the hose and I think the pressure rating is higher than that. But since there's no power steering fluid in my tranny...I think I'm good.
:doh:Sorry, that was a typo, it should read transmission , not power steering on the hose!!!
IIRC Power steering hose and O'rings are NO MATCH for Transmission fluid! Good catch.
