The steel replacements were pretty inexpensive. I replaced both of mine. Pay special attention to the connectors to not break (or tryyy not to) the original plastic clips, if your Jeep has them. Rubber for tranny lines IMO is setting yourself up for risk when steel lines are as cheap as they are..

As Jeepwalker said, be prepared for the plastic clips at the transmission end to break. They have most likely been on there for 20 years and are much more brittle than when new. you can get Dorman replacements (do a search). The lines are easy to replace. Make sure you have a quick release tool for the radiator end. The PO on my 98 tried the cut it and use hose clamps. I tried multiple hose clamps and could not get it to stop leaking. I ordered a new line with the proper connector and no more leaks. It can be tough to manuever in the limited space at the bottom of the radiator. IIRC, I may have removed the electric fan to make it easier.
