Hey all,
I'm currently about halfway done with my 5 speed swap.
Unfortunately I just realized that I have no idea what to do with the metal oil cooler hardlines that I disconnected from the Auto transmission.
What's the easiest way to deal with them?
Thanks

Re: Transmission Oil Cooler Lines
You talking about the lines that run to the radiator? If so, disconnect them. You can cap the holes in the radiator if you want, but they're not hurting anything.

+1 you won't need them at all with a manual. How's the swap going? At some point I'll probably end up doing it too since my auto is iffyAce2cool wrote:You talking about the lines that run to the <a class="vglnk" title="Link added by VigLink" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=rad ... </span></a>?

Re: Transmission Oil Cooler Lines
Awesome, thanks for the replies.
The swap is going well everything is really straightforward. Just got a shifter brace in the mail and I should be throwing in the 5 speed sometime this week. From what I've been reading I'm not too excited about stabbing it. The only issues I've had so far stem from: 1. Ordering parts as I go along instead of having them all to begin with. 2. Horrendous rust on bolts coupled with tight spaces and 3.The auto pilot bushing which I've addressed in an earlier post.
