- 2007 explorer xlt
I Am sure this has been discussed before. I have a 2007 Explorer XLT 4x4. The transmission line going to the drivers side of the radiator is leaking at the rubber flex portion closest to the radiator. This line comes as a pair. I called the ford dealer because I was having difficulty finding them online and I was told they are on back order. Has anyone had trouble and or luck finding these lines? Again I believe they go from the radiator to the transmission. My other wild card question is and I think I already know the answer to is....has anyone ever tried cutting the the metal line just before the rubber flex portion and just after it. Then putting a hose over top of the metal line and clamping it? I do not think that would be a long term fix but would it be a temp fix? I am also pretty sure there is too much pressure there for the clamps to hold. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
