Default The best tranny cooler line...

Is??

Mine is leaking constantly. Not bad leaking but leaking enough that I notice a drip or two. I'm using the fuel clamps and tranny hose came Hayden cooler.

What are you guys using?

I make mine out of Earl's Perform-a-Flex braided stainless hose. Expensive but they never leak if you build them correctly, which isn't hard to do. Estimated cost for fittings & hose to/from cooler = $80-100 unless you have an unusual cooler setup.

Weird Bene, mine don't leak at all. The braided line would be worth looking into. Kris and Shane both have the tools needed to build a setup like that.

Do you mind if you can take pictures for me of your set up. I'm anxious to see how it looks like.

Yeah, I've tighten the hell out of those clamps and it still leaks. It might be also leaking where the rubber hose transition to metal tubing.

I dunno, mine does. I hate seeing drip spot under the car and smells like tranny fluid.
