Availability of Transmission Cooler Parts and Accessories to Route Cooler Lines, 2005 Honda Odyssey

Question:

I ordered and installed a transmission cooler and Power steering cooler for a 2005 Honda Oddessey. The way that it was installed there is a U turn that the hose has to make in order to hook into the transmission return line. Will the braided hose pinch and stop up over time? Do I need to purchase a fitting to make that U turn?

If the hose lines are not kinked and not touching any parts that could move and make the hoses kink, they will probably be fine. Depending on how tight the bend is that it is making, it may be a good idea to err on the side of caution and go ahead with making the bend a little more straight.

We have numerous replacement parts and accessories for coolers. I have included a link to them for you to view. Depending on where the bend is and how you want to route it, I am certain you will find something that will work from the replacement parts and accessories.
