hey,

my oil cooler pipes on my 3 speed auto are dinted, bent and look ugly, can i replace the metal pipes with say a good quality rubber hose like the coolant pipes on the radiator, will it stuff anything up or not work ???

I really don't see them costing anything at all at a large wreckers - I mean most wreckers can barely shift the 3spd auto's let alone the cooler lines.

At least give em a ring first - probably be cheaper than buying hydraulic hose which is probably what you'll need.

greetings all
the trans lines are not all that dear to buy genuine, they are a little difficult to fit but it is worth it as rubber hold the heat & in time may break down allowing bits of rubber to flow into the trans

metal lines act as an extension of the cooler & help keep it cool
