Yup

Oh no, man down.....

What now? Not the trans again is it?

Sort of..

i got a bad feeling about some rubber lines you installed on the trans lines.

I think so...

Again!
I wasn't able to check. When it happened, my gf was at the dr's office. She comes out and sees this.
So, I'm guessing it was my "fix". The Hoe is getting up there with the GN--a real love/hate relationship.

ive not been a fan of any type of rubber lines put on a trans line to repair it. ever since a friends 77 impala burned to the ground in my driveway back in HS.

the lines need to be flared so the clamp has something to hold on to or the hose can slide right off. or the heat just blows through the hose. even reinforced hose.

good old double flair and unions work best, but ive used compression fittings on everything for years with out a issue ever.

in a case like yours where you had a rub through, id cut the line at the break, clean the ends toss a fitting on it and call it a day.

Hopefully my buddy can save it.

Was the trans slipping or did it just leak a bit?

Thank God no. She said it was shifting fine. It was just some trans fluid, but she was almost 45 mins from home, so you know what would've happened if she tried to drive it home.

Those lines are super close, I knocked them out of the clips that are further back when doing the lift and they rubbed once the steering was back together.

No slipping sounds promising, hopefully just needs some fluid and a line repair like Scott said.

How'd you fix yours? Just put them back in the clips? Good thing you noticed when you did, not like me.
