First Failure..

And I'm sure there'll be more to come, but this could have been prevented with a little more thought and planning, attention to detail so to say... I blew my a tranny line today, surprised the heck out of me and my son, had just pulled out of a buddy's drive and was under some accelaration going into 3rd and red stuff was spraying everywhere! Got pulled over into a field entrance and looked it over, for whatever reason when I ran the new stainless lines for the tranny, where I connected the hard lines together between the Transmission and the frame I only made enough hose to slip about and inch over each line, and well looks like the pressure line separated in a grand way... tranny fluid is everywhere... I slipped it back on, and headed straight to the nearest car wash where it blew out again, LOL! I called a buddy to run me to the parts store, we pushed the Jeep into the car wash and my son washed the piss out of everthing best he could while I chased parts, but as you see, my jeep is still in primer and that went everywhere, even on the inside of the windshield somehow, lol.... I added a bit more rubber hose between the hard lines..

At least it was a semi easy fix

At least it was obvious. I usually do a grand job of totally destroying something that leads to something else.

You might try some Dawn dish detergent with a pressure washer.

Did you flair the ends of the hard lines and use rubber hose for trannys and not fuel line?

They make Transmission specific hose?

Yes fuel line hose will not stand up tranny fluid.
