Thread: Transmission cooling lines?

Tweet

My frame will be powder coated and everything underneath is either stainless steel or billet. I am going to run an aluminum finned tranny cooler along with a remote tranny cooler with a 1100 cfm fan set up with a thermostat (there is no transmission cooling lines in my radiator) as a back up to make sure heat does not kill my tranny. My question is should I use highly polished SS hard lines to both these units or run braided stainless steel? I'm trying to get the most bling possible and still be functional. I thought there would be less chance of having the SS line rub together and wear if I went with the highly polished SS hard lines. WHAT would your learned advice be? Thanks in advance!

Use as much stainless steel tubing as possible.

I ran as much as possible in SS hard line & polished it. My Walker radiator has a cooler but we added 2 smaller coolers under the car.
The coolers are on each side of driveshaft behind the tranny.

I wished mine looke that good on the shiney side!

Stainless steel hard lines are your safest bet.
