Trans Cooler Line Help.

Hi,

On my 74 Charger, the cooler line on drivers side broke at the radiator. Is there anyway of fixing the line with instead of replacing it? It twisted/kinked and broke off when trying to undo it drom the radiator.

It should be 5/16 line and if you take the piece to a parts store they should have the line and fitting a little stub is all you need and a piece of rubber line for Atf to the existing line once that is cut of the twist. Use a tubeing cutter so it doesn't leave a burr like a hacksaw.

I've repaired them before. Get a small piece of line to replace that so you have a longer smooth piece. You'll have to flare it. Piece of rubber line with double screw clamps on each piece/side and you should be good to go.
