I happened to see some flexible LMTV transmission lines on eBay the other day. It is worth noting that the pictures show the tubing is marked as 1-1/8" ID.

I had a flexible line made at the Parker Store. Cost $140. If you want one, the Parker part number 471TC-06-06-16-16-12-76 will allow them to recreate you the driver's side line. The last two digits, 76, indicate that it is a 76" long line. So if you want a passenger side line too, I measured it...

I'll do that first thing in the morning.

The best way to measure threads is using a tool called a thread pitch gauge. They are like a set of feeler gauges, but with little "saw blades", each with a different thread. You hold them up to the threads, and only one will fit. Even the difference between close english and metric threads...

That's a good point. I could just cut it and mate it back with rubber line and hose clamps. Thanks for the offer to send it, but I don't think I need that. At least not yet. Just knowing if the threads are english or metric will probably solve most of the problem. I imagine if someone has a...

I got the line disconnected at both ends, and yes, there is a tiny crack where the flared cone meets the straight tube. I have played a lot of Tetris, and there appears to be no way to get the line out of the truck without cutting it in half, removing the front drive shaft, or removing the...

Last night I took the leaking end off. There did appear to be an o-ring groove in the face of the male flare (the 90° adapter that goes into the transmission), though there was not one in it, and I didn't pull out any pieces or anything. I put an o-ring in it, that seemed to fit. I felt...

Thanks, I will see if I can find a 1.5" (or 38mm) crows foot nearby. I'm not sure where would have one that big.

Ok, will do. I'm catching a ride home now to get some overalls, tools, and supplies. How much fluid is going to drain out when I remove that line? Like 10 gallons?

It's not loose. I already checked that. I tightened it maybe 1/8 of a turn, and I think the leak might have gotten worse.

Item 30 in that manual page screenshot I posted lists a "pre-formed packing". I couldn't find anything in a google search for the part number.

Do the lines themselves typically fail (e.g. split or wear through), or does the o-ring just go? This is a stead run of ATF out of the compression nut, like if you turn on the faucet to drip and then just turn it up little by little until it runs a stead 1/8" diameter stream. I'm stuck in a...

One of my transmission cooler lines started leaking like a faucet today. Before I take it off (and really get myself up the creek), is there anything special about the o-rings that seal these? I have an SAE and metric o-ring kit - think there will be a replacement in there? Or are these...
