... You wouldn’t believe in this day an age how many guys still use hose clamps on their... transmission lines. Note to self: Upgrade trans lines to replace hose clamps on the four (4) high-pressure connections for the two (2) high-pressure trans-spec rubber lines between the hard lines and the trans cooler. EDIT: The hard line & trans connections are flared and barbed, respectively, but I definitely want to update this stuff. Just use AN braided line. I have -6 braided steel lines on both my cars. 1/8" NPT to 6An fittings for the trans and radiator if I recall correctly. Normal braided line works great...been on my car for probably 14 years now. If you feel uneasy about it, use the more expensive braided line w/ the Teflon (?) liner like you'd use on high pressure nitrous lines.
