So here's another negative of maD tYte slamming of E34 Tourings.... At some point I managed to hit something that bent one of the transmission cooler lines, the inlet line, P/N 17221728763. I don't know what I hit, but since the oil pan is intact I'm not complaining...






It's only a $50 part, so I'll replace it the next time I flush the fluid. I don't know how constricted the pipe is and have visions of overheating the tranny or ruining the pump that circulates the fluid because of backpressure, so I'll do it soon.

BUT- I haven't had the car up on a lift in a year or so, and that cooling line runs awfully close to that motor mount. Does anyone have any idea how hard the R&R of this line will be?
