'86 auto trans cooling lines

[whitehorse]

My trusty (rusty) '86 2.8 trans lines are leaking right after they travel over the trans and start their journey forward. My question is for ease of replacement wouldn't it be simpler to run rubber hose from the fittings on the trans to the radiator than futz with the metal tubing? A does anyone know the size of the fittings on the trans? Where to get parts?

Thanks

First question No don't use rubber, easy yes, able to operate/maintain the required pressure/temp No

Second almost any parts store could get or most likely have the required fittings… B...

Thanks for your input. Do you know what trans is in my '86? It appears chrysler-ish.

The trans you have is a Chrysler A904. From the looks of it, they used that from '84-'86 in both the I4 and V6 engines.

Thanks for the info.
