Replaced both lines and it fixed the problem.

Hope this helps.

come to think of it there was a hole in the trans. cooler line. i cut the line at the hole and then clamped a piece of hose over the ends to create a flexible union. i guess i better check the whole cooling circuit also

good luck with this- just put a Suncoast 'verter in mine a while ago (twice...); ripped the t/c seal on the way in

and LOVE my auto now. I used to hate it!

Used to hate autos........
Had Goerend build me a trans, now I love my auto.
I can drive anywhere without having to worry about shifting. No stalling no matter the hill size!
If I want to hold it in gear like a stick I can do that.
I can drop it in 1st and lock the TC and creep down a big hill.
I can effortlessly back up no matter what the trailer has on it. I can gentle pull forward without jerking my cargo around.
I never loose boost when I shift, can't say that about a stick.
And if you tailgate me, I'll lock the TC and mash the throttle....you'll back off.
