My transmission lines are leaking at the transmission. Just installed new Trans and I cannot get them to stop leaking.

Where can I get new cooler lines?

Can you buy fittings and use rubber hose?

Transmission fluid will break down the material that most rubber hoses are made from.

Are they leaking between the case and brass fittings or fittings to lines?

Between the line where it comes through the bolt to tighten the flare in

You can go to your parts store and buy 2 2' sections of line that already have the correct fittings to screw into the trans and 2 compression fittings. Cut the ends off your originals, and bend the new ones to match. Then, just use the compression fittings to mate the repair ends on the original lines.

Ok thanks,I will try it out. Are they just a universal line or vehicle specific?

Took the fitting off the shell of the Trans that came out of the car and installed it in this one, leaking is done!

Had the lines not leaking but now I notice they are leaking again. Who knows how long.....I haven't noticed fluid on the ground until now.

Also now I see fluid slowly running down the converter. Any idea what would cause this?

This transmission was just rebuilt and a new converter,.I will be a little upset if I have to drop it again because of a seal.

Spliced a new piece on and put new fitting in the shell, doesn't seem to be leaking now.

Rock auto sells the lines pre-bent for oem fit. We bought 2000ish (I think) lines and changed the connectors to the snap fit ones, makes putting in and taking out a hell of a lot easier.

Have a 94z28.
