Well trans lines went much better today. Up until the last line going from the aux cooler to the trans. Just couldn't get it to clip, the flare was just not right. I wasn't pulling that stupid thing back out. Sat there with emery cloth and filed the seat down by hand. Finally got a good seal with a click. Missing the trans lines plastic holders, cobbled up some loom and a zip tie for now, need to find something better or OEM.
Also started the upper control arm bushings.

At your local hydraulic shop they make custom hydraulic hoses all day.
You know my stance on engine cooler hoses. Steel lines are nice here because nothing rusts. In rusty areas I don’t understand why people stay with metal lines and factory crappy connectors outside of initial cost. Do the math if the investment is worth it to you.

Yeah, next time (expecting 2 years) I will not be doing this again. To be honest, I didn't plan on replacing the trans lines at all. I will look into a custom setup. I have long term plans for a 40K TruCool auxiliary cooler which will need custom lines. Just didn't have the funds right now for it.
