Buy a complete trans cooler kit with steel braided hoses, rubber hoses will start to sweat and leak after a short time.

i'm trying to get away as cheap as possible, i cant talk my wife into getting rid of the truck, it needs way more work than i want to put into it...issue is i work 30 miles from home, she works 2, and i cant get it thru her head how to drive a stick...4 clutch sets in 3 years....it makes more sence to drive the jeep that gets 22mpg, vs the 10mpg truck.....after i convert it, i'm planning on planting the idea on a regular basis that we need something else
