UK Car Repair - 76 Silver Shadow transmission cooling hoses
Expert: William Brady - 8/10/2008
Question Good day, Sir! My 76 Silver Shadow has burst one of the cooling hoses that runs from the transmission to the radiator. I don't do much work on this car myself, but I'm contemplating trying to replace these lines. My manuals do not show any diagrams of where they run or how many places they're clamped to something. Any advice on making this as painless as possible? Thank you in advance!

Answer The hoses are short flexible lines at the right side of the transmission. You can remove yours and have them rebuilt or buy new ones. Two options are Albers Rolls/bentley in Indiana 317 873 2560 or, Bonnet To Boot in Los Angeles 800 494 8092 As a temporary measure you can remove the broken one then use the good one to reconnect back onto the transmission thereby cutting out the cooler!
