Filled it with ice and worked like a champ. Did u just use rubber line and hose clamp it with those barbed fittings? Use those ends on the trans to? Gonna make one kinda like this but I figured using steel like from trans and just using a fitting to hook them up instead of rubber. On the outside for this one yes I used rubber line with hose clamps but your setup will be better with the steel line. A lot of shows are telling guys not to run rubber line inside the car now so I should have set this up with steel line fittings.

What fitting do I need to go from my 3/8 hydraulic line to my trans one autozone gave me won't screw into the hydraulic line. Thanks are the fittings on the end of the hose JIC or standard pipe? if they are jic you will need 3/8 nps to -6 an/jic.

So I'd need -6an to 3/8npt right?

The line was 5/16 that was on it. Idk this is confusing to me haha. I'll figure it out. What I've found so far is two male ends so guess I'd just need a coupler to hook me up

First one is fitting I pulled out of the trans and then my hydraulic line. I've been everywhere and no one can help. Attachments:

I've built my own tranny cooler like mad Mikes derby shop cooler to run in my compact. I'd upload pics but can't figure it out yes I've looked on the how to post page. Any way just to get it straight I can run rubber hydraulic hose with my tranny correct? Don't really have the extra for the steel braided tranny lines right now. Thanks for any help
