Taking out the rad from the Cuda. How to you guys plug the auto tranny lines? I've heard golf tees but I don't golf.

Cut a short piece of 5/16 rubber hose.

Then push it on the trany line.

Thread a 5/16 bolt in the hose

Throw a clamp on both ends of the hose.

Or

1 long piece of 5/16 rubber hose

Push both trany lines and clamp each side.

Get 2 brass fittings just like the ones in the radiator tank, fill the hole inside with your favorite sealer, ready to plug those dripping lines.

They also make a neat plug kit.It has 2 pieces of metal with a plug the you put in the line then tighten them down.I think mine was about 7 bucks and have had it for years.You can even start the motor with them on if you have to move the car and they are universal fit.Rocky
