auto trans return line

[rainman]

my soft hoses run quite close to the steering box as well, what with the extra cooler and all. It was going to rub, so i sleeved the trans fluid hoses with some of that that clear vinyl water hose, found some with a ID about 5-6mm greater than the OD of the trans fluid hose, that way goes on easy but not to much slop, easy enough to secure with a cable tie as well.

Good luck with it.

Plan on doing this replacement as well since my transline is leaking from the alu cap. Fabbed a quick disconnect 'tool' from a sharpy cap. Cut the tip off so its about 3 cm long. Cut a small strip outalong the side so you can slide it over the transline and push it into the disconnect fitting , as far as it goes. Is exactly the right diameter, works a treat.

ok all fixed cut the line up near the quick disconect that dont disconect and then down the other end near the box ran some high temp low pressure hose from pirtek double clamps on each end no leaks all good,and yep used a mini pipe cutter from rigid its a plumbers tool real easy, and yes jj did have a little creasing on that pipe checked bump stop and yes half missing grrrrr and to top it off have a broken left hand engine mount haaaaahaaaaa

Pretty common prob that one. Pretty easy to do on an Update not sure if yours is? All I had to do was remove the air box and place a floor jack under the engine, and out she popped. I have read on here the aircon comp has to be unbolted but I did mine in about 20mins without doing that.

I did mine 3-4 years ago and already its starting to crack. At least its still in one piece ATM. Reckon another 1-2 years and I will might be getting close to replacing it a second time.
