Yes for sure. This is what you do when you add an auxiliary tranny
cooler up front also.

As long as it is rated for the temperature that tranny lines incur. Many
fuel hoses are not rated for high temperatures.

Just remember you have to use hose rated for ATF and pressure/temp.
Other hose will disintigrate and screw up your transmission.
Make sure you get the hose over the bump or it will slide off under
pressure. The ATF cooling system becomes pressurised when hot.

At one time the fuel line clips were hard to find but the last time I
needed one it turned out that the local Advanced Auto and Checker both
carried them. Pack of 5 was something like $4, but when I went to get
them, he pulled out 3 different sizes and wanted to know which I wanted
since his parts book wasn't clear. Turns out, the nylon parts are
determined by the line diameter rather than the use. Anyway, at least 2
local places have them and they are in the buck, buck and a half each
range - have you tried any of them? My son broke the tranny cooler one on
his XJ when he had to pull the radiator and he found the replacement
somewhere local - besides the dealer.
