Wyatt9219 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Recently bought a 1993 gs300, found out that the trans cooler lines were twisted and kinked resulting in premature failure of the trans. Replaced trans, tried my damnedest for 2 weeks trying to either find new cooler lines(which are discontinued and no aftermarket) or get my old ones fixed. Paid money to get a new fitting for the lines to go into the trans fittings but the hoses that were put on are to bulky and now the lines are unusable due to rubbing on components and they just seem off. I have NO luck on finding replacements OR coming up with a solution to this issue. I need some ideas on what i can try and do, i am thinking about running metal braided lines but having to match up the fittings and everything is gonna be a challenge, is there ANYONE out there with a idea that i can try or possibly someone who has ran into a similar issue?

Yes sir absolutely, they either cut the lines when people pull the trans/motor and or they did not have the make n model needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX400h Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 How about out of state yards? (like ones in California). Sometimes dealerships can search other dealerships' inventories throughout the US. That is fairly old vehicle, so this may not be a fruitful path to take.

oilerlord Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Did a bit of googling, but not sure if will help you. Was thinking there may be a Toyota equivalent part for your car. In Japan, the GS300 was called the Toyota "Aristo". I'm wondering if perhaps the Toyota Avalon used the same transmission parts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
