Not sure about any retail ones...

But i made all of my tranny cooler lines and got rid of the crummy tubing.

Since we are an Aeroquip distributor that was my choice of hose and fittings!

you could easily either build a replacement rubber line, or if you just hurt the tub itself, not the end-fitting, you could just cut it off clean on either side and clamp a piece of oil-resistant hose over it. It's not high pressure, so it doesn't take much.

The factory oil cooler lines carry coolant, not oil. Just get some heater hose.
