I don't think fuel line hose will hold up very well with tranny fluid. I've always been told to use tranny cooler line. You might want to change that on yours.

Interesting. A marketing ploy? We all know rubber can't hold up to petroleum, hence fuel line is something else, neoprene or some synthetic. What on earth could be in trans fluid that would eat fuel line I wonder? I'll be gunni pig! It's been about a year so far, I'll post up when she goes......
