My sister's 99 ZX2 has a number of problems, but namely the loss of ATF through the rusted cooler lines. Is there a material, hose, something I can use to replace these seemingly problematic cooler lines? The lines are rusted as they cross the front of the car behind the radiator, and I can't find suitable replacements except at a dealer, and I'm sure they want BIG money for them.

Few options available
1. You can buy an after market tranny cooler kit (small radiator )
and replace the lines
2. Use the same steel line and make your own cooler line
good luck
