My trans is leaking some fluid, and I think its coming for those hard lines that are connected to it. Are those replacable parts from a store, or do I have to go to a junkyard? I looked online for some at Advance, and couldnt find anything, I'm not sure what to look for really. So if you know what they are and where to find them, please let me know. thanks in advance.

If this is an A4LD, the upper line on the trans is the return line from the cooler and the lower one is the trans discharge to the cooler. Mine had the line to the cooler entering on the top of the radiator and the return to the trans leaving the bottom. I put an in line filter on it about an hour ago.

These are just plain old bent steel lines. Mine has flared ends and fittings. The trans has threaded in seat fittings for the lines. I think they are 5/16, but I would check to make sure they are not metric.

You can tighten both the line fitting and the seat into the trans, carefully.

If the flare is damaged, you could cut it off and reflare it.

If you need new lines, just buy some tube and bent to fit.

OK man, thanks
Don't they make replacement parts that are correct length and size? OR do i need to do that myself?
I havent crawled under the car yet to see if the line is broke or it they need tighten. i can just see it dripping from the lines tho.
