You can patch it with about any power steering cooler hose and some clamps. Make sure whatever hose you put on is compatable with oil. It would be a good time to think about replacing the drainback valve or removing it as well. Most of the transmission failures I have seen had that checkball closed off. I usually replace the lines with hose and put one large cooler out front. Saw it drop trans temps on one truck almost 60 degrees! I don't run it thru the radiator cooler either. One large, quality cooler works well in most cases. Takes a little longer to go into overdrive when cold, but I can deal with that for lower overall trans temps.
