Also, how do you change a transmission cooler hose?
Likewise, can you repair a transmission cooler line? Like all parts of an engine, transmission cooling lines can wear out. If they break or develop a leak, you will lose transmission fluid, leaving your car vulnerable. Thankfully this is a fairly simple fix, and most transmission line repairs cost between $100 and $500 dollars.
Also know, can you splice transmission cooler lines? Yep you should be OK, just make sure the clamps are tight and the hose isn’t kinked. FWIW I’m using about 1-2 feet on each of my cooler lines near the transmission linking them to the original metal AOD cooler lines, then have the metal lines linked again with rubber hose at the cooler from the radiator.
People ask also, where is the transmission cooler line located? Remove the two transmission cooler lines from the bottom of the radiator. These two lines can be accessed either from underneath the hood or underneath the vehicle. Use the flare nut wrench to remove the lines in the same manner used to remove the lines from the transmission.
