Ummmm......no. That wouldn't work very well.

sorry, I just digressed

*BLOWS THE DUST OFF*

SO, this happened again tonight, on my way home from work, its -5*F

when i left the parking lot it just felt like it was slipping cuz of the ice...so no big deal...

i get out on the highway...cant get faster than 45...so i lost 4th and 3rd...

cruisin along at 28mph in 1st until it finally died.

i had no idea that the line had blew again, cuz i dindt have a flashnight, and there way no fluid on the snow...just figured that the tranny was finally done since it has been really bad lately. i waited in my car for 2 hours as my dad drove 40 miles with his trailer to come get me after work, and then we saw the SAME line had blown off!!!!!!! DAMMIT, all my fault, didnt get it tight enough or something...but it did last a couple months...

got the line on, tightened it up, 6 qts ATF, good to go...

I'd make it a good habit to start checking that everytime you drive.....You've gotten pretty lucky with running that trans that low on fluid and not spinnin any bearings in that trans....Usually the first time you run'em empty they're junk.

LOL i know...

hey...go to napa, autozone, or any place like that near you and get a new clamp...that one must be slipping. that, and make sure the line isnt cracked, so it slips out.

I still have no clue what "line" you guys are talking about.. but if it'* threaded, loctite perhaps? Maybe some crazy ****, like stuff you need to heat up to get the bolt out, or something. Just to be safe.

the clamp is new...i had cut off some of the old line the first time...its a rubber hose that fits on a ribbed metal connection. i have no idea how it could happen again

Something is giving the line too much pressure apparantly, either a blockage after it, or something putting too much flow into it.

There were recalls on his issue I believe. Not sure....but I'm sure there'* plenty of pressure there.
