I had a cut in the rubber part of the line from running over something on the interstate. However, I think I have a solution that will work. I finished cutting the line smooth. I took 3/8 copper line- short section, smoothed the ends and used hose clamps to connect the two together. No leaks. This got me home and should hold until Monday. Thanks!!!!!!

Still currous about the way that hose attaches. I really worked on it hard for over an hour with no luck. I will have to look at it again when I replace the hose for real.

I do need to do a flush and I am at 100,000 and never done that. Just dropped the pan a few times.
Which way does the flow go? If I remove the top line at the transmission, when I turn the key will the fluid be running from the cooler down the hose or from the hole in the transmission where the upper hose goes?

Or do I use the lower hose?

Thanks again!!!!!!
