tranny cooler line kinked- solutions for fix

95DRGT · 11-01-2001, 06:03 PM

I kinked the last inch or so of my tranny cooler line when dropping an AODE.

Can this be repaired/spliced?
Any tips or solutions please.

You can probably just install a union in the line. Cut out the kink to where the line is round. If you have cut out more than the length of the union, you can either insert a short tube and 2 unions, or the whole line.

I've seen trans. shops just cut the lines upon removal if the fittings were rounded off or corroded so bad it wouldn't come apart.
