I'm attempeting to make trans lines, there is no motor or trans in the car. After experimenting I'm realizing that I'm probablly going to need to put the trans in before i make the lines. I dont have any other lines to reference for making my bends. Does anyone have any advice on any tricks or certain bends that don't need to be made? I've done brake lines but this is more involved. Also do i need to have a double flare on the trans lines? Thanks

Get some ss flex line from summit and screw the bending.

 

if you have the money for that ,,, then ya, get the flex line

otherwise its gonna be hard to tell how long to make em etc without the trans in , mine run along next to the starter and under the motor just alittle under the pass motor mount . it might be easier (without the old line) to make the bends to clear everything, with the motor and trans in the car.

 

yea i ordered the lines for my camaro but i got the universal lines the costed me about 17.00 four metal lines and a rubber hose easy to install but u do have to bend the metal lines some

 

ya thatll be easy enough

 

Were did you get your lines from? Thanks everyone for the quick respones. I think I am going to try and just buy pre-made lines if i can find them. Thanks again.

this is the link from ebay but you can go through summit racing it was 23.00 all together thats what i used you have to bend them though to make it work in your car

 

also the rubber hose may not be long enough but goto your auto parts store and just get the same hose size and then your all set
