Anybody found an alternative to the crappy TransGo vacuum mod. line? Just as the title states, plus I am now running a vacuum canister and need a much longer line anyway.

Regarding the brake line, sounds like a great idea but I need something that I can clamp down onto the output nipple on the tranny. Do NOT want to drop the tranny just to install a line. Just got everything running 100% and I don't wanna go messing with it.

Go to a heavy duty truck parts store they have the air brake line which is flexible and is what I'm running,it fits nice and tight on the connections, much better than the trans go line.I believe I used a 3/8 OD line.

I wound up going to Napa and they had a 5/16" cut to length (on the big spools) black tubing and it was listed as fuel line/vacuum line. Stuck it on last night and it's working great so far.

I used about 9 feet but I was going up the passenger side and around the front of the motor to the vacuum canister. Didn't use the spring in the hose.
