Does anyone know the type of ss braided flex hose to use for transmision lines, to go from the hard lines to the tranny cooler in front of the rad. I know that not all braided hose is compatible with tranny fluids.I'm making my flex lines from ss braided hose and want to get the correct type. I have been looking at "Jegs Pro-flo 200 Hose" , I'ts a nitrile hose, and thier cat says it is compatible with all synthetic lubricants. Just want to get the right hose so it dosn't dissolve on me later. Thanks

I don't know what it's made of. But there's a guy on ebay selling Steel braided hose with fitting for the tranny cooler aplication. Ask him what it's made of.

Mean time here are a couple sights I have found. And a clip from a former blog.

Here is the blog " :salut: "
(Hi Norm,

For your cooling lines, 6AN fittings and hoses would work well. I would recommend the braided hose over conventional rubber. Rubber hose clamps can sometimes be pesky as far as leaks and drips go. I've also seen racers lose a round of racing because they had a rubber tranny cooling line pop off. On the fittings that go into the case, make sure you get the 1/8"NPT (pipe thread) on one end with the 6AN male end on the other.

Running your cooling lines to the radiator and then to an additional cooler is a good idea. If you build a new tranny you may want to incorporate a gauge with the sending unit in the pan to monitor your transmission fluid temperature, and get an idea of how adequate your transmission cooling system is.

I use ATF+4 in my cars, which is Chrysler's newest transmission fluid specified for all 98 and up Chrysler products. It is highly recommended to use this fluid with a lock up torque converter application. This fluid has additional additives to resist heat, foaming and corrosion.) n end blog :salut:
