Default Remove transmission cooler line??

So I've noticed a slight drip coming from the high pressure transmission line that goes to the radiator. Now, I'm curious if it would be okay to cut this line out and then attach a small transmission cooler in front of the radiator and run the lines from where the high pressure line once was?? Thought this would be a simpler way instead of replacing the line itself.

The soft line or hard line?

My hard line was leaking, I cut off a 12" piece and put in 15" of soft line with two ring clamps.

soft line...with the high pressure line fittings on the ends. i'm just not sure b/c it's a high pressure line if it would be okay to leave it out.

Just replace it, parts about $35 and takes about an hour to do. Just make sure you get the right line and those p.i.t.a clips

Default Transmission line replacement

You mentioned P.I.T.A clips. I just got both the upper and lower lines and as about to replace them. I noticed the connector at the Rubber side has a fitting on it. Does the other metal side just slide in and how do I clamp it?
