Default Transmission install gone bad...

Well today I got off the phone with flt and they hadnt started my trans yet, so I decided to put my stock one back in with a tb stall. Well when I was nearly done lowered the truck with the jack it slipped off the jack. I thought nothing of it and filled the trans with fluid hear this weird noise after I start the truck. Look underneath and theres a puddle of fluid, I go investigate and this is what I found. So does anyone know what the name for this line is? Part #? I'm glad all it was only a line and not worse.

From the pic, It appears to be a line on the rack & pinion unit..? If so it may be hard to get just that line, I would go to a salvage yard and ****** one form a wrecked vehicle.....

Glad to hear that that line is actually available separately from the rack and pinion unit...often times parts like that are only available with a complete unit.

Ya its available seperate I had to order it cause no wreckers are open this weekend. I'm just thankful it was just the line, if it broke the fitting on the rack I'd be fucked and need a whole new rack and pinion.
