Default Transmission lines

I hate to ask anyone to get down on their back, but otherwise I'm stuck...

I wonder if anyone has some pics of the entire transmission cooling lines from the trans to the rad. The assembly manual has a small pic, and I know they're close to the lower trailing arm bolts, but there's no way I could bend them myself with what I have.

Anyone? Markus_P?

Go to corvettecentral.com and type in part# 532547 and you will get a small diagram that you can click on. It's not the greatest, but it will work. If you are bending your own just keep the lines away from exhaust, moving parts, and above the lowest part of the tranny. Best bet it to buy new lines for $57.90. The part number for the lines is 533589.

LOL - funny you ask, but I just ordered new ones for mine.

$55 including shipping - took 4 days to get them. Inline Tube

I can take a picture if you want but I don't think it would be worth it.

gtr - you da man.
That's all I really need, I can ad-lib it.
They look like one piece start to finish.
I guess bubba cut mine half way, because there's a pair of fittings under the engine.

I'm up in Canada, so you can pretty much double the price for anything, after exchange, duty, taxes, and other doodie.

Mine were also cut and then put back together with compression fittings when I got it. They hung down so ridiculously low that it was a miracle that they didn't hit the ground when the car went over a bump. I removed them and replaced them with a brand new set from Corvette Central and replaced all the clips and the hoses and clamps that go the radiator as well. It's absolutely amazing how some people can butcher a car up.
