then make sure to get proper size hose, so that it fits tight and slide it atleast 4" onto the hardline.
Separate the 2 clamps by 1.5".
that will give alot of surface tension and spread the clamping force out more.

New line is $80? Plug and play. My lines are original- 6 years old, 93,000 miles- and no seepage at all. I would never hose clamp anything that's under pressure.

This is the reason why i replaced the line with a new OEM line......yeah its a bit of a PITA to do, but its done right.

** I also took the couple extra minute to do the trans service(all new fluid and filter)

I think for the trouble I'll just order the OEM lines.
