Rubber Trans lines to radiator

This might be a stupid question but mine are leaking bad and need new ones. I notice they are in a z shape almost to the metal lines. Will local auto parts store have them?

probably not oe preformed hose @ part store.
you should be able to get some TRANSMISSION, not fuel, hose from your parts store. the tranny hose is designed for hi temp. if you don't have a ext trans filter on yet. now would be a gr8 time. plus you get enuff rubber hose w/ the kit.

An external filter from Subaru dealer would come with new hoses that probably will solve most of your problem... If additional hose is needed, common transmission stock hose will work for the other one. The most critical molded one comes with the external filter.

hope this helps, Guitar Picker!

Just get some 3/8" ATF line. They'll sell it by the foot for about $.50/'.

Also, after having a worm clamp fail on me, almost costing a trans, I only use the Subaru clamps anymore. I hate worms...
