hey guys, so i got my 89 up and running good, but the trans fluid is leaking somewhere, and i know its not at the trans, so i wanna put in a different trans cooler with new lines, any advice and loction of cooler, type of cooler, line running and so forth? thx guys

 

just buy the best you can get and use the proper lines don't use rubber hose for the tranny i would use some the braided line and a b and m cooler if you can.

 

i have a ton of big breakline/fuel line at home, can i use that for the lines? thx

 

I would think that as long as the Id is close to half inch that it should have the correct flow I would not go much smaller on the id or it could restrict flow to much.

 

There are a number of coolers you can use. I got one from Summit Racing that I used for a couple of years that is a long skinny one that is about twice as big as the stock one and that I put in place of one. I ran my own hard lines. They e=were 3/8" brake lines. I put barbed fittings on the end and then used 3/8 braided steel lines to go to the cooler.
