tranny lines
Both of my transmission lines was leaking where the rubber turned into metal so I cut those sections out and just connected them with hose and clamps. Just wondering if it will be fine or should I get the actual lines for it?

We used double clamps when attaching the new rubber tranny hose to the metal lines after the cooler install. That's been 2 1/2 + years ago and still no issues/leaks.

zip tie cuts tranny line
Because standard stainless clamps have a bit if a flat by the screw, if I use two I put them opposite, a flat on ether side.
Get this! A plastic zip tie is making a groove in my line! A bit hard to see in the photo. Vibration and dust were cutting it. I caught on the eve if a 1,000 mile trip...

Good thing u caught it. As soon as it warms up here I'm going to start looking over everything. Seems like the previous owner never did much but rig s**t up. One of the intake bolts are broke so he has two hose clamps looped together pulling on a bolt to hold it in place. Seems to be working but looks like crap and I probably need to see if its leaking.
