    When running a aod what tranny lines do you use? I have a aod in my car running but I use rubber lines and I want to do hard lines.

    Most factory lines are going to be similar with cooler connections in side of radiator(only ones I remember used crossflow radiators). Being as lines route beside engine most any line should be near the lower part of radiator where they can be coupled with a short piece of hose.

    I use hydraulic hose...it can handle the heat, pressure and oil.

    Some would say you lose the added cooling from the steel lines but I have never had an issue using hydraulic hose. It's so much easier to route and holds up very well.
