Leaking ATF Fluid after installing Thermal Bypass Valve

[Gr8bawana]

Has anyone had similar problems with other brands of by-pass?
I was wondering why you couldn't just use some high pressure hydraulic hose with a couple of clamps. The ends of the hard lines have ridges that would help hold the hose in place with the clamps.

There's a hose clamp on the front side set of hoses already, then the block thats basically drilled through passageways, then the two hard line hoses from there into the transmission as you move back.

I used a no name product for this myself, and works great with no leaks. Probably could just use some slightly oversized orings on what he has would fix this.

Maybe the factory O-rings were crushed slightly on install or seated in the wrong place causing the leak

I installed the Mishimoto unit a couple years ago when doing my billet VB and trans service, and zero leaks - you should not need to use teflon tape on those connections, I remember just tightening them to snug (21 or 27mm wrench I believe I had to get)
