Yea holy crap lol. My québécois friend, long time no chat.

I think you can get both rigid lines from amazon, or rock auto. For the trans cooler, I think it's a quick disconnect and you can get a cheap plastic tool from your parts store. I am not sure how they connect to the transmission though, I haven't looked close enough. Looks like they are just pushed in..

I didn't show up because nothing broke since a while!

Fun to see that you guys still own that dak too!

I will probabely go with an aftermarket cooler since the lines cost 133$each.

i will probabely cut the rigid lines where the are puncture an the jonction on the frame and route flexible lines with fuel lines universal collar.

I cut mine too, right in front of the engine. Used 5/16" tubing I think... I used needle nose pliers to flare the ends lol, sometimes I'm a redneck. No leaks to report on my transmission after 10k miles. My power steering on the other hand... But that's another story haha.

i just replaced them with oem lines. they come out of the transmission with just a small sort of c clip that is quite a bugger to get out on the tranny side. just used a small flat blade and they came out with a little prying. try the tans cooler side first so you get the hang of it.

Do any of y'all know what size the threads for the cooler lines coming out of the tranny are? I've heard 1/2" but also 3/8"....
