Hi all,
I've just had one of my auto trans cooling lines start to leak as the mount has worn a hole in the line. I heard this is a common 240 problem. I really don't want to replace the whole line yet. Has anyone had experiences with any repair kits.
Thanks,
Joel

    "I heard this is a common 240 problem."

    It has a common fast fix too. One or a pair of 5/16" brass compression unions.

    Don't know of any repair kits but you can try cutting the line all the way through and splicing it back together. I used rubber fuel line with clamps but others have used different types of metal tubing.
