transmission cooler lines

can i replace the metal transmission cooler lines with any other hose, like braided lines ect.....

the reason i ask this because while pulling my engine out i hooked my chain around the engine and the cooler lines feeding into the transmission got caught up in it .
and well i snapped them in 2 so i need to replace them both

 

Yeah mate thats fine. Failing that i have some kicking around. Might be bent now.... but i did a manual conversion, so they're just rubbish.

But either high pressure hydraulic hose and or braided nylon hoses are fine. Probably much easier to work with too.

 

They can be replaced.. Just get the correct transmission cooler lines as the fluid going through it is very high temp..

I got rid of my old hard lines as one of them got blocked.

Rubber hoses should be kept to a minimum.

I would get replacement steel lines either new or used.

Are steel lines available from Nissan?

Enzed or Pirtek should be able to make steel lines if you have original lines that can be used as a template.

 

id prefer to use braided hose line, can they handle high temp oil?

 

try to replace your steel hard lines ay.

 

It you can convert to manual and say goodbye to annoying coolant lines

 

what is the fitting adapter size? like the size of the fitting that screws into the transmission

look at the ends of this line and thats what im talking about.. the little bolt size there
