Does anyone know the pressure in a line running in the transmission cooling
system?
The reason I ask is that I have an in-line filter and cooler and am
wondering if I Really need to be double clamping every connection. I've
slightly flared the steel tubing and the cooler and the filter have a form
of bubble flair on their ends.
I've always done this my entire life and double clamped as well.....but
that certainly doesn't make it right.

What I want to hear is 'not necessary' to double band clamp the rubber bits
to the steel tubing...

Tks

Mike

Mike,

Give Manny a quick call re the pressure four 0 eight - 9 three 7 - one 5 eight 3.

The in line filter is superfluous - the filter in the trans pan is a fine paper filter in my opinion.

The rubber hoses in the secondary trans cooler in Double Trouble is double clamped. I figgered since the cooler doesn't get removed
frequently why not. Plus the clamps screws are 180 degrees apart.

But as you know I'm an anal retentive pedantic bugger!

Regards,
Rob M.

I know very well how you think !

I decided to throw all caution to the wind and went with one clamp per
joint. Should I not be able to sleep tonight, I have a flashlight and a
can full of clams ..

Mike,

I just have to ask.....
What are the clams for??

Also, if you are only using one clamp, don't use screw (Ideal) type. I would advise that you use Corbin or other spring/contant tension clamps so the joint will stay tight when the rubber of the hose creeps.
