Trans Lines

[Tonyrodz]

Blew a trans line today. I think it's the upper line.
This is the passenger side of the radiator. Can anyone tell me how this line is routed to the trans, and what side of the trans it goes to. I'm really not looking forward to laying on the snow covered ground tomorrow in 10 degree weather. Any tips or tricks is greatly appreciated. TIA.

Trans lines go down the passenger side frame rail and then cut over to the passenger side of the transmission. GM RWD transmissions have always had the lines goto the passenger side of the transmission.

What a mess! Hopefully you dont have a problem with line pressure regulation that actually caused this.

Thx for the heads up. I hope I don't have a pressure problem. Trans was rebuilt maybe 6-8 months ago. Could line pressure be from the pump?

Absolutely it could. The regulation valve for line pressure is installed in the body of the tranny pump.

Dammit man!! The shop that did my first 60e actually cut the trans line and bypassed my radiator when they installed my aftermarket trans cooler. It was connected with a rubber hose to the cooler. It never came apart thankfully since they didn't bother asking me first..just an idea.

It's a tight space to disconnect the line from the transmission. Hopefully u don't have a pressure problem.

You won’t know till you put it back together and run it tony, im guessing because the line was old it just let go. Plus with all the removal/install stuff you've done prob weakened it.

Thx. Great info for me. It was an EPIC FAIL today. I didn't really know what I was looking at, yesterday and today. I finally realized etc happened. Guy that did the cam, also did an aux trans cooler because I went with a 3000 stall converter. But he never gave me the details. I told him I wanted to also keep the stock trans cooler so I'd have 2 coolers.
He blocked off the inlet on the radiator with that yellow cap, and cut the metal line that was supposed to go to it.
When I saw the line, the tip had looked cut, but I didn't really think anything of it. Thought the complete line needed to be replaced.
Long story short, I couldn't do it, getting towed to the tranny guy tomorrow. If I really looked and paid attention, all I needed to do was reconnect the rubber line to the cut hard line, like it was, and use a new hose clamp. When I finally realized what happened, it was way too late. I really hate wasting my time and money. I'm so pissed right now I could kick the dog, and cat!
