So it i've tried some of the junk yards and pull apart around here and i cant find a 2.8 with what i'm looking for. Looks like my tranny cooler lines have rubbed together and one of them is leaking pretty bad. Where the lines go past the block and bend up is where they are rubbing together. SO if anyone has some just laying around hit me up free works but im also willing to pay.

i dont have any of the lines personally, but i think you could get ahold of them at any auto parts store. or you could flair them yourself, that'd be a cheap way if you cant find some used ones

I would just cut them about a foot away from exhaust manifolds and then use rubber line the rest of the way. Where is it leaking? I can take a picture of mine on the V6 car. its got a external tranny cooler and most of it is rubber.

using some rubber lines and fittings might not be bad...But i've tried Shucks, and autozone near my house and they dont have anything unless i wanted to bend my own and add fittings...

Are they the same fittings as the brake lines? I haven't had an automatic in so long I forgot. If need be, I have a pipe flaring kit which includes a bending tool if you want to go that route. You may not need to flare the lines, but the bending tool could be useful - it won't kink or pinch the line.
