Transmission Return Line

I'm trying to replace this patched up mess of cut and spliced transmission lines on my truck with new ones and replace the 3/8" pipe oil cooler with a new 1/2" pipe cooler. So far I've located new line for pressure side and the cooler but haven't found the return line so far. Anyone know where I can get one?

I used the "Push-lock" fittings and hose. Rated to 300psi and 300F. Available in 1/4" 3/8" 1/2" etc. I used the 1/2"


Once you push it together, it's not coming apart. You can literally hang from it. No clamps, brass fittings so no rust, very flexible and kink resistant. Can't beat it.

Check with your local hydraulic supply shop, they should have it.

So I can just hook those up to my cut off transmission lines?

Thread the push lock fittings into your tranny or oil cooler.

I believe it's the 1/2" push lock line that will go right over the barbed fittings on the cooler in your grill.
