cutting transmission cooling lines

If i cut the transmission cooling lines to remove the trans. then later use hose and hose clamps to repair the line is that acceptable?  

I wouldn't do it. You're better off to disconnect them from trannie. Remember a trannie is under pressure. You don't want them leaking at the cuts you made.

normally i wouldn't look for ways to cut corners or do things half ass at all. but who ever owned the truck before me or at least who ever worked on its transmission. didn't have a clue what a tubing wrench was and looks like he owned a couple different pairs of vise grips. i cant believe that the lines don't leak! anyway i am not having much luck turning them. so i was thinking when a guy goes out and buys a transmission auxiliary cooler, isn't it just connected with hose and clamps? and if so why should i let this stripped out transmission line slow down my project any longer than it already has? I'm going to have some more time to work on my truck in a couple more days and id like to feel like i was at least a little productive, ya know?  

I'm just saying I wouldn't do it if it hadn't already developed a break in the line. If you do cut it make sure you use a high psi hose and clamps, I'd even try and put on some steel braided ones. As for most auxilliary coolers, some come of them acually come with the proper fittings and tubbing preflared and everything to do the conection right, depending on cooler purchased of course. If the previous owner did that much carnage just on the lines it's no telling how much damage he done in other areas. Give, not just the trannie, but the whole truck a good inspection to see what other death traps may be lurking around. Case in point, I know a guy who blew up his turbocharger in his Cobra Mustang. The idiot rebuilt the bearings in it using ball bearings from a bicycle, then wondered why it flew apart and completly mutilated his heads when them ball bearings made it to the combustion chamber! Some people have no business with a wrench in their hands.

YEAH I AGREE CUTS ARE BAD BUT ON MY TURBO DIESEL I PUT AN EXTERNAL TRANS FILTER ON MINE WITH OIL PROOF HOSE AND HOSE CLAMPED IT LIKE IT SAID ON INSTRUCTIONS! BUT THERE IS AN FLARING TOOL AT AUTO PARTS STORES AND JERRY'S HOME IMPROVMENT AND YOU SLIP ON NEW NUT AND FLARE TUBE WITH TOOL IT COSTS ABOUT 19.95 THOUGH FOR TOOL BUT IT HAS MANY USES LIKE MY PIECE OF CRAP SHOWER CONTROLL VALVE IN MY HOUSE!!! BUT I AGREE CUTS ARE BAD!!!!  

yea  use a flairing tool and make a flair nut connection like on brake lines. that will not leak or come apart. if you get a good one then you will be able to make the double flairs on brake lines. what ever you do dont half ass it. youll regret it later.
