transmisson coolers

To answer your question, no, there is no way that won't leak.

Thanks guys for the help.

Use two good quality clamps, not Harbor Freight, and you'll be okay.

There is very little pressure on the cooling lines. Just make sure that you use the right type of hose that is both heat resistant and oil resistant. I used a silicone hose and double hose clamps on mine about 30,000 miles ago. No leaks and no problems. If you travel a lot in the Winter months, you may want to make sure that you can block the cooler off so that your fluid can get up to normal operating temps.

Yes and I always use two hose clamps just to make sure...

I would make every effort NOT to use hose clamps.

Buy a two brass step hose barb splice fitting that are 5/16 on one end and 3/8 on the other end. Use a short piece of 5/16 hose from the coupler to your existing 5/16 pipe.

I would do it.

You sound like you're already concerned. It won't last for long that way.
