My passenger side front axle mount keeps hitting my engine block and one of my transmission cooling lines due to weak springs I suppose.One of the oil cooling lines for the tranny got pinched from it and is seeming like a hard part to find. Where can I find it?! Please Help!

 

Believe it or not, I got mine from Amazon.com. They have all 3 lines as a set for $63.

Link is for a 2000 XJ, just check your year at the top.

 

Before you fix the broken part, you should figure out why it broke. I'm guessing motor mounts are toast, maybe the tranny mount too. Check and replace if necessary, so your brand new tranny line doesnt get pinched . With your engine firmly in place, you should be good to go.

Now on the tranny line, you could replace the whole line, or simply use a tubing cutter to remove the broken section and splice in some rubber tranny cooler line. Double clamp it in place, slide some protection around the rubber hose (heater hose), tie wrap it in place to prevent rubbing.

 

Cut the hardline back to stubs, repair with 3/8" ID power steering hose or A/T cooler hose (both will work.)

Allow at least 1.5" overlap, install two clamps to retain the hose to the stub. Why? Because you won't have a barb on the tube to help it seal, so you need to give it a little extra help. Allow at least .25" between the clamps and at least .25" between the outside of the clamp bad and the cut ends (of both the rubber hose and the metal tube.)

The rubber lines may then be run anywhere that is convenient and retained to prevent mechanical interference.
