Yeah i measured them straight off the brand new trans lines i purchased (but didn't use)....

Regardless I'm pretty sure that top line was too tight. Hindsights 20/20. So anyone else who's done (or is going to do) this repair, make sure you leave some slack in that line especially if you're planning on offroading.

I used up all 4 quarts and it still needs a bit more. Luckily I didn't put a lot of miles on it today or drive it fast..... but im wondering when it started leaking. Waiting for my dad to let me know if he see's fluid in his driveway.
