help - part # for 2010 4.6L 6r80 transmission lines - not finding it?

[ELeBlanc]

I've been told it's a dealer only part. Searching the web I'm not finding it. Comes up with wrong part.
Considering preventive maintenance replacement of the part...

Have you tried Dorman? They have a lot of hard parts for older vehicles.

Which brake line part is it? The best way to find tough parts is to first find the part number, then the search is much shorter and easier. You may have to get help with the part number, having a good dealer parts department is very important for some things.

Transmission line not brake. Finding the part number is what I'm having trouble with...

Sorry, I meant the trans line, stepped away before making the post. I have a decent local parts dept, my old guy was their for over 40 years. I have had good luck with Tasca Ford too, but all major dealers have lots of parts people. You will do better with one that you do buy parts from occasionally. They aren't thrilled to hunt part numbers for you, but they do it for regular customers and people they expect to sell to at some point.

I usually try to find parts online used myself, and often their will be a part number in a description. That's common with eBay and Rock Auto, but less with Amazon etc.

I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for, there is also a tube listed, looks to be identical part numbers for the 6 speed and the 5 speed transmissions

Thnanks. Both Fit... Need for oil flowing from the transmission to the cooler or from the cooler to the transmission. Not obvious here if these are the same or one is to teranny and other is from tranny

If the problem is leakage from the rubber hose end connection, then usually there is plenty of slack, and you simply cut off about an inch of the hose, and reattach it. That is common for the rubber hoses going to an oil cooler, the rubber deforms with that clamp on it for 10-20 years. If that's the case, just cut off a little of the rubber hose, and reinstall it, that will last another 10-20 years.

That works well if it's a standard end, some hoses have specialty fittings. I like to use hydraulic line, even for fuel lines, I've never had to replace a hydraulic line yet.

True. That pictured line looks like a normal clamp on one end, that's what may be easy to shorten to fix. The other end looks slightly like a Pushlok connection, which those were sharp barbs that didn't even need a clamp. I also like high pressure rubber hoses for doing trans lines, or anything important. Way back then high fuel pressure was 45psi, so the kind I had was also great for that. Now they raised fuel pressure, so it's best to stick with the most secure connections. Newer stuff that comes out changes things, it's better for the most part.

I've heard that the quick relase connectors on the lines at the cooler end break... I've (unexpectedly) put a good deal of money into this in 5 months since I bought it so was trying to be pro-active.
