I have a B&E transmission cooler and i keep having problems with the lines leaking at the factory hose where i cut the hose to run the cooler lines.
I have the clamps tight as can be and it still drips.
What do i do to stop it

 

If you have room a simple solution is to place a second hose clamp on the line. This relieves the pressure from where the first to the second clamp is and when I had a similar issue it resolved the problem.

 

etry new clamps, the old sometimes loose their strenght when removed. Its happened a few times to me.

 

these clamps arent 5 months old thats why i didnt understand.
i have had that problem before to

 

This is why I never cut tranny lines and then clamp it with a hose clamp. Always a leak hassle within 6 months. If you want to fix this permanently get a new line and don't cut the end off that threads in and if your cooler don't have a method to thread it on try to make it by buying a kit and if no kit available, find a cooler that is setup to thread the line on to tighten it. That's my advice. I went through the clamping broken rubber lines on transmission lines on 3 vehicles. It never works or lasts. Trust me. Don't get yourself stuck and stranded way out on a trail for this crap. Do it up right.

I have had no problems with mine. Some clamps are better/stronger than others. Check the line for cuts or punctures. I don't believe they recommend putting a second clamp on the lines either.

 

The more you tighten the clamp the more it digs into the rubber line. There is somewhat a lot of pressure in those lines. If rubber lines would make the grade and last then why wouldn't the manufacturer use them instead of paying more for metal lines and taking the time to bend them? Just saying.

I am not a fan of using hose clamps, they can rust, come loose, dig into the rubber, etc. Try upgrading to AN fittings or pushlock fittings. You dont need clamps for those. I use the push lock fittings for my air system and -6 AN fittings for my transmission cooler. They cost more, but sure as hell will not leak.

 

Can you show me what they look like and where to get them? I have never heard of them
