Does anyone know the size of the fittings for the cooler lines on an AOD?

One of my lines is cracked right at the fitting on the case and I was thinking of just replacing it with a pipe fitting of some sort and a piece of high pressure hose between it and the hard line. I don't really want to replace the whole line because it's going to be a PITA with L/T headers and I'll just end up hacking some of it off to reconnect my cooler anyways.

Thanks.

:D

The line itself is 3/8 I believe. I'm wondering about the fitting on the end that threads into the tranny case.

Thanks though.

make sure you flare the end of the metal line, and use the fuel injection hose clamps and i wold double those up. If that lien slips off all your tranny fluid will pour out while you are driving causing a tranny with no go. It really sucks when it happens on a freeway. I knwo cause it happened to me in one of my cars. It may be a PITA to change the entire line but is really the best way to do it.

What I'd do is bend a new pipe from the case out to a straight section of the orignal pipe and join them with a compression union.

Thanks guy's.

I may just grab some 3/8 pre flared brake line from the parts store and cut and bend that to fit and then join it to the existing line.

I never even thought about that! :lol:

Thanks for the effort. I was looking for the other end though, where it goes into the trans. itself. :D
