91 Cherokee Automatic Trans cooler line repair/replacement?
Girlfriendzillas Jeep again.
The rubber hose that runs between hard lines has a hole rubbed in it
right up next to the fitting at the transmission end.
The radiator end appears to have a quick disconnect type fitting to the
hard line but the transmission end looks crimped. Can't see it very
well, is it crimped or quick disconnect?
Might be enough room to cut it right over the hole, stick a hose barb in
it and get a couple hose clamps on it. Or I grind the crimp off, trim
the hose and hose clamp it back on.
Or, I fix it the right way..?
What is the correct way to fix it?
Thanks!

The "correct" way would be to replace the assembly but you might get
by okay with some high pressure fuel line hose and a few clamps as you
described.

Thanks.
I figured going all the way back to the transmission was the preferred
method.
Just kicking around options, remembering back to the days when I added
an external trans cooler to the ol' Chevy. Instructions had you cut the
hard line and hose clamp the new cooler lines on.

Re: 91 Cherokee Automatic Trans cooler line repair/replacement?
First off you need to find out 'why' it wore out there. Kinda foolish
to replace it the same way. If it was already 'fixed' with a clamp at
either end of that piece, maybe they made it too short at the bend so
the barb wore through.
For repair, you can easily buy 'transmission cooler line' by the foot at
the parts store. They also sell the high pressure (worm) hose clamps
that have a solid band instead of the cut through threads for the worm
gear. These are much better than a regular hose clamp.
'If' for whatever reason you end up cutting the steel line or maybe
someone else has, you must make sure it gets an inward flair or the cut
edges will wear right through the line again.
