Those lines are stupid!! I replaced mine twice and patched them a million times!
You are best to replace them with hydraulic hose (oil cooler hose) I did, and you can't beat it!
Just grab a couple of metres of Hydraulic cooler hose (available at auto pro) using a hacksaw or similar cold implement cut the middle from the lines, leaving say 150 mm protruding on the gearbox end, and leave a similar amount on the other end, replace the middle section with the hydraulic hose, leaving some slack to allow for movement, I sealed mine with some sikaflex and 2 hose clamps per end, cable tied it out of the way. it's 10x more durable than the original line and won't let you down.
