Any recommendations or issues I should look out for? (other than avoiding the exhaust)

When you say braided do you mean with AN fittings on each end or hose clamps? I go to a local hydraulic supply and have them make custom braided lines with fittings, They never leak, they look awesome and can with stand high heat. They are usually about 30-45 $$ A piece.

Do not use rubber hose!

If you take your car to the track and they check it it will not pass tech. Rule says " no more than 6 inches of rubber hose on each line"

Not only that but it wont take long for the hose to come off either end or break and crack.

I would buy braided line with AN fittings on each end. Last time i did mine both lines were about 110-120, the fittings for the trans and the cooler were about 20, and i used a B&M Supercooler and thats about 55. Its worth every penny!!!

I alway use braided lines and fittings, assemble them myself so I can route them the way I want. I also like the B&M Supercooler, you can never be too large. You need to buy the braided line with the teflon inner, and the special fitting for use with trans fluid. They make quick disconnects for use at the tranny they work great but you need to massage the tunnel for easy access.

What size fittings are required to run braided transmission lines? Are they 1/4 NPT or something special?

On both my car I do not use rubber hose for my tranny or fuel lines. I use quick disconnects on my trans it makes it much easier to drop tranny. Your not under the car trying to get the line loose you just pop it off and go.
