Does anyone know what a transmission oil cooler line is and where i can get two.?

its two lines that run from the side of your radiator and no one knows what im talking about. I have a saturn repair book and thats what it calls them. Do i have the name wrong?Does anyone know what a transmission oil cooler line is and where i can get two.?
These lines are usually specialized for the vehicle and in fairly low demand, so most parts houses will not stock them. Your best bet is to go to the dealer. It will cost a little more, but you won't have to drive all over town looking for them. You could also have a line custom made or go to a junk yard.Does anyone know what a transmission oil cooler line is and where i can get two.?
No, you aren't calling it the wrong name, you're just calling part departments that employ idiots! You should be able to get them from napa, auto zone, advance auto, or car quest BUT some of those types of parts of dealer available only. Maybe you should take the book down there and show them pictures or call and speak to the manager or shop foreman, they should be able to help you.
Auto transmissions have 2 trans. cooler lines. One to take the fluid in and one to take it out. They connect to the bottom of the cars radiator. If you get close to the bottom of the radiator... you should be able to see them very easily. They run in parallel back to the transmission. If they are leaking they can be cut and spliced with hoses and clamps. People do it all the time. They are not ((( high ))) pressure. But A suitable hose for such an application would still be required.
Rocky is partially correct. People do cut them and splice them, but he is wrong in saying that they are not pressure lines. They do have a certain amount of pressure in them and require pressure hose to be used when splicing them. Windshield washer hose, vacuum hose, and even some fuel hoses will just split apart as soon as the pressure hits them. It would be best to let a reliable mechanic do the repairs on the lines, because that way if he screws up, there will be a warranty to fix the problem caused by the mess-up.
You got the name right. The dealer dealer ';should'; know it. Anyway, there is nothing special about them and you can get them from a Transmission supplier, like this one.

Hi Gary, The trans, cooling lines go from the trans, to the bottom or side of the radiator(should be the only metal lines to the radiator) unless you have a oil cooler. you can get them at any auto parts store. good luck;)
