Thanks man. I've been peaking under my jeep every 15 minutes.... just waiting for something to leak. I have a feeling I'm going to have to redo my trans pan gasket since I did that late last night, around 11:30, after a few hours of wrestling with the lines and getting frustrated. I couldn't use my air tools to really clean up the surface, and the exhaust is also in the way which makes it difficult to get the pan back in place (especially with RTV). But that's OK... i'll take that down with a clear head and take my time; maybe put a drain plug on there too.

True... i wish I would've done that from the start though. Remember i had the line completely disconnected from all of the fittings and was trying to snake it out for a few hours. Hoping that I didn't damage the original fittings during that process. At least now it's 2 pieces though: but i still think i need to drop the cats to get the rear section out.

looks like real pain.... if i were you i'd double clamp those suckers

I thought about it but the store only had 4 clamps left and i wanted to be done in time for Easter dinner. A good clamp shouldn't leak, but if i do have to fix them again i may throw on a second set for the added peace of mind.

So is it all fixed now? Can u make a write up so if any of us have the same issue we can easily fix it?
