Quuick Question: Tranny Cooler Lines

Does the OEM tranny cooler lines that go into the tranny require any thread sealant or pipe thread?

If your swapping from a 5spd to a 4l60e how do you run your tranny cooling lines?

Re: Quuick Question: Tranny Cooler Lines

I have the OEM tranny lines and I cut them right about under the starter. I will then use 3/8" compression to -6 fitting and Push-lok hose to a B&M cooler mounted right behind the front license plate area. No front plates required in FL so I will make some cooling holes.
