Somehow I sprung a leak in transmision line on my ram quad 360about a foot away from the fittings.Is this line too high pressure just to cut the line at leak and splice with a small piece of hose and clamps.Of course it would be better to replace whole line but it leaks so bad I am afraid to drive and surely shouldnt as it is spewing all over the drive.The lines were in good shape(were)They look like they are stainless.The spot where it is leaking is an easy access but would it just squirt away if I splice long enough to drive to town to find proper new line.

 

Your fine to cut the lines and splice a piece of hose in just make sure the hose you get will hold up and use good clamps. The other day mine had a leak and i just cut them and ran hose to the cooler. And if you do this right, you wont need to replace with new lines.

 

i used two clamps at each connection just to be safe, hasen't leaked in 2 years. Just make sure you get some good quality hose

 

Thanks guys this will help me get it back on road and if I check for leaks periodically after fixing I will be reasured to much fluid does not leak and cause more damage.I had my tranny in my old 85 dodge rebuilt.I checked the radiator to make sure the lines were not blocked.After finding them ok I hooked up rebuilt tranny but the fluid burnt up 2 weeks later and when I rechecked linesin radiator they were clogged again with crud.I just do not want to take chance flued loss will hurt the tranny in this truck.
Thanks
