mine they cut new cooler lines, installed, and they still leak. i think you need a really good transmission person to do the job right. The age of the vehicle too, since factory did not do a good job with the proper line installation on these cars.

leaking transmission fluid from the front, what causes that? The small hoses connect to the cooling fan are saturated
