alright ive got the c6 into my 88 mustang now and im goin to route the transmission lines in an hour hopefully and i was wondering where they come out of the tranny at? and can i use all soft line to run it to the radiator or do i need to fab hard lines? i believe i saw one line on each side of the tranny but i dont remember for sure.

the front tranny line near the bell housing is the 'out' and the line back by the tail housing is the 'in' line.

Gates makes some stuff, its called Synflex I believe, I got mine from my brother who manages a semi repair shop. Its a lot easier to work with then steel braided and cheaper. Trucks use it for millions of miles so it should be alright for cars. It has a cloth covering, just ask around at a truck repair shop they should be able to fix you up.

I gave always just used 5/16 steel brake lines. Works well. You can run it all the way up the trans cooler at the front and then use a short section of rubber line to connect the lines to the cooler.

One thing to help: The rear line fitting on the trans is going to very close to the trans tunnel in your car. It's hard to bend hardlines that sharp without kinking it. I used a 90° brass elbow. Made hooking the line up much easier.

If I could find one, I would check to see if the rear cooler line fitting for the C4 will work in a C6. This fitting screws into the case and has a jam nut to secure it. The fitting is a 90* angle fitting and point the opening for the tranny line down towards the ground.

If you're going to drag race at a NHRA/IHRA track you can't use rubber of any kind except for connection purposes.

qtr, the Synflex is steel braided with some damn tough cloth type of outer cover, do you think they will allow it?
