Title: transmission line question
Post by: chevystudz7105 on September 29, 2008, 12:06:18 AM
i did a search on here but didnt find anything.  i was just curious what size transmission lines are needed for a th350?  i pulled out the manual trans today and in the next few days ill be putting a th350 in it but wasnt 100% sure on the size i line i need.  i believe its a 5/16 th line isnt it?

 SHOULD NOT MATTER   SOME GUYS RUN UP TO 3/8        ( MORE FLOW )  THE  RADIATOR  ONLY FLOW SO FAST     
  I RUN 5/16 LINE

Thats assuming you don't have to install an adapter to fit the radiator and/or cooler.
Anywhere in the system, if you reduce the dia. of the line (ie... adapter, reducer, cooler tubes etc...) you restrict the flow of fluid,,,, law of phyics.
