Im running and aftermarket B&M trans cooler with fan. I was wondering if theres any drawbacks to running aluminum line when plumbing this to my trans?? Its a lot easier to work with and I have some left over from when I ran my fuel line....

Thanks

The vibration/movement may(over time) work harden the aluminum & end up springing a leak

I have never seen or heard-of any neg issues. And I know of at least 5 guys that have done it.

I know how soft the aluminum is and figured it may be easily damaged, but my fuel lines are aluminum and Ive never had issues. I will route the lines good and keep them secure to the frame.

I was just wondering of any cooling issues...
