thats alot of what motivated me to change my trans lines to hoses...

now all thats left is for me to crossthread one of those bastards

 

You guys should consider getting the quick disconnect tool for the tranny lines. They are similar to a quick fuel line disconnect. It clamps over the line, you slide it into the connector, turn it a quarter turn and pull the tool and the line out. The clip stays in the connector so it never gets lost and never gets stretched or "sprung".
