I'm sure most of you have experienced the biggest problem with the aluminum transmission cooler lines. I have one that has rubbed against the starter and created a leak. Of course it is the line that goes from the back of the transmission all the way to the front cooler. Have any of you guys come up with a good solution to solve this problem?
On my 96 I used hydraulic hose, but it was a pain in the ass to get the hydraulic hose over the lines coming out of the cooler, and I'm not sure how good of a solution that was.
Also, what are everyone's thoughts on eliminating the water jacket cooler? A couple years ago the cooler in my dads truck went bad and started putting ATF in the water. The shop eliminated it rather than installing a new one. We don't haul anything heavy to really worry about trans temps.
Thanks in advance.
