So the trans I picked up, doesn't have the metal cooler lines and I tried to look at eBay and online parts store, couldn't find anything. I can only see those tubes for radiator end, not those on the trans itself. Any ideas?
I would use my existing on the jeep but they are rusty and leaking on the crimps where the rubber hose connects.
I also need to get new rubber hoses, they are also leaking and cracked, LOL
And would it be better to have a trans pan gasket or use black rtv?

Or should I put like 4 inches of hard line in the trans and use rubber hoses all the way to radiator instead?

If anyone is going to do this adjustment I suggest researching it and understanding what happens in the steering box when the adjustment is made. Understand the consequences also.
Many folks say "Don't touch it" others have done it with success and are still around to talk about it, myself included.
Also, rule out any play in the steering shaft first.

Yes, that is a tricky adjustment and can only be done properly with the box on the bench where lash and resistance can be measured. Done incorrectly, the box can fail while driving.If anyone is going to do this adjustment I suggest researching it and understanding what happens in the steering box when the adjustment is made.

Eh, don't recommend it. Would be prone to leaks and less secure then metal lines.Originally Posted by XJwonders

What about braided lines? I just saw pictures of them on naxja
Too bad it's expensive. And need special adapters that bolt on the trans. Something called like -6an or whatever.

Yea, "an fittings"..... if I'm not mistaken, gas (like propane) fitings from the hardware store ate the same. Just not all pretty and Shiney aluminumOriginally Posted by XJwonders

Found a couple on rock auto, not sure if they are correct, though. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/more...266&cc=1431776 http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/more...253&cc=1431776 One says inlet and another says outlet. Seems like they go in the trans, not the radiator

Keep in mind, one of the functions of the hard line is to dissipate heat, which it does well. When I plumbed an auxiliary cooler I used more hard line where I could.
I believe those 'quick-connect' fittings on the AW4 can be replaced with something different and readily avalable. I rember reading about it.

Did u see the links I posted above and if its correct hard line for the trans? It doesn't say clearly.Originally Posted by SteveMongr

Those look like the front portions of the lines, from hard lines to cooler.Originally Posted by XJwonders

I do not see the ones for the in/out of transmission itself.
Maybe the junk yard for stock lines or replace the fittings on the AW4 to run your own.

I just read the link u show above. Then I checked the pricing. It seem like it will cost me about 120 bucks in materials. Dang
