Transmission Cooling Line Mod?

[markinms]

I'm using an AOD trans with my V8 swap. The radiator I'm using does not have trans cooling hookups. I'm using two external trans coolers that are connected by rubber hose. The original trans cooler lines from the trans have been cut for best fit and need to be connected to the rubber hoses.

What's the best way to connect the original trans lines to the rubber hoses to reduce the chance of leaks? Adapters, fittings, clamps, etc..?

Thanks for any help!

I used 3/8 compression fittings with a barbed end on all my line re-routes for transmission when going from metal to rubber. Worked like a charm.Click the link below for a picture of one.

Thanks for the fix. Quick run to my local Napa Auto Parts store got what I needed.

No problem. Glad I could help.

I know I'm late to the discussion, but that's what I did with mine. I ordered a B&M "supercooler" oil cooler for my transmission & got the fittings at my local NAPA. Works like a charm.
