Transmission Cooling lines: Renix vs. HO

Hi, folks. I just picked up an 88 XJ with 91,000 miles.

The transmission cooling lines are rusted pretty bad, and while changing the alternator, I hit one, and caused a leak.

Heres the question: will the transmission cooling lines from 92- up work on the 87-91?

Theu *look* the same, but we know how that goes sometimes!

They’re both AW4, so I can’t imagine it not working.

Thanks!

You might look at rockauto.com, or anywhere and see if the part #'s match. I'd guess if there is an issue it will be the radiator, IDK. BTW, I ended up repairing both of mine with sections of 3/8 fuel line and clamps. The pressure is not nutty high, someone suggested 40# max...

A wet and gritty plastic zip tie had (eventually), cut through the metal line.

Well it appears the part numbers are a match between the Renix, and the HO. Thanks for the idea, I’d have never thought to look at Rock Auto.

I couldn’t find anywhere that listed the 87-91 XJ as far as the cooling lines.

Thanks again!
