Cheaper quick repair, transmission cooler lines (cutting crimps and replacing hoses) 

I am in the mist of a transmission leak right now. Fluid blowing up on top of engine. I was glad to hear the plus and minus side of this repair. Thanks for the info

Those clamps are weak especially with vibrations and corrosion. I highly recommend to use crimp rings.

Appreciate this video Bulldog . . . all the best & stay well !!!

I really like this. Great video Sir. The other day i was throwing out some old oil cooler lines and i was considering keeping the fittings. But the grandkids got in way 😂 Thank you Sir. This is a huge help

Good job. Sometimes you need to use what you have on hand but in order to keep those aluminum shavings out of the lines and not damage your transmission it would be best to cut them all, clean and then pull the hoses off. They make special hose clamps that are smooth on the inside and will not cut into or damage the hydraulic hose. Having a flaring tool on hand if needed is a good idea also, never put hose on a smooth line that is under high pressure. Like you said you got lucky that the line had something to grab onto already.

Good video I did this last week to a broken line.

I would be extra careful about getting metal particles from the grinding operation and them getting into the hard lines. That would be bad.

Thank you Bulldog was very helpful!

I did a transmission line repair on one side of my transmission line a while ago based on another video that, also, recommended using two clamps if you didn't want to drop a load on a new OEM part. Although, they didn't put the clamps on opposite sides of the line. But, it's been holding together for the past month. So, I'm not going to be overly concerned until it starts leaking again. I've done it with the other side of the line, particularly since there's no flang for me to shove the tubing over and there's no easy way for me to add a flang to the tubing without removing the entire line completely, which will be difficult because there's a bunch of other lines in the way and I'm a VERY amateur gearhead myself and I don't want to get in over my head trying to figure out how to put it all back together again.

Yo Bam Bam Bigalow, thanks Dude u save me a ton of money..

Brilliant! Saved me time and money.

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄

Great video

nice & tidy

Thanks

I noticed immediately that you alternated the direction of the clamps so the tension comes from two sides.

Hey Mr Bulldog, so I have a Chrysler 2008 town and country 3.8 litter I have lines like that but they’re leaking coolant,can I do the same what you just demonstrated? Thank you Sir

Is it possible to just cut the ribs off, to where I could slide the new hose onto the existing tubing? Maybe I could replace the clamps/ hoses with high pressure fuel clamps/ hose?

I wonder if I could use this to flush my transmission and or add transmission fluid to the transmission. Ps I don't have a dip stick and the fill bolt is a torx 40 against the frame so tight I can't get a tool in there.

What about flaring the end of the tube?

How about running a hose all the way from the cooler to the transmission?

Do you happen to know what the psi is inside transmission lines? I did this fix yesterday and I'm a little concerned about whether or not this will hold up and not pop off.

Salve. Nuovi tubi che avete montato quanti bar?

What about if the quick connect clamps are broken .

Why can't you use another similar clamp like the original?

What is the size of the hose?

Can I do this w oil cooler lines ?

I guess this is a bandaid fix if you can’t get the part but you can just usually get a new line for under $50. Mine was $28 on a 2016 impala. You have no idea if the line is barbed or not until you cut it apart. If no barbs you are having to flare it in a tight space. Sillly, just get a new line.

Can this only be done within a section of those grooved aluminum sections, or can you do this anywhere along trans lines?
