Have any of you had lucky sourcing some transmission cooling hoses? They’re discontinued and I haven’t been able to find them anywhere, this DII is my winter daily driver and I need to put away my summer car asap. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

 

I just replaced my engine oil cooler hoses on my P38. I got them from LR Direct in the UK. I would have thought the trans hoses were also available but I didn’t check on those.

 

If it’s just the rubber ends and connectors you are taking about there are threads on here about getting new fittings pressed on the steel line at a hydraulic shop. The lines are no longer available.

 

You can make them yourself with flexible hose and barb fittings (hose shop, car performance shop, hardware store). I don't think there is a lot of pressure on the transmission fluid system. Anyway, I made engine oil cooler lines myself since I added an oil cooler. For the cooler connections I used 14mm compression fittings. The system runs at 50psi and has absolutely no leaks.

 

Flex hose and barb fittings is what most aftermarket trans coolers ship with, so it should be fine.

 

You'll choices are 1. Fabricate a new one. 2. Get a used one. 3. Replace it with something else.
There are no new ones available.
I had my slip off twice, and a replacement had to be fabricated.

 

Had to replace mine. Went to a hydraulic hose repair company with the old hose. They fabbed a new one. Worked great.
