A few days ago, my 2005 Jeep Wrangler Sport TJ sprung a leak in the transmission cooler lines while I was driving. I was going about 20 MPH when I noticed I no longer had power. At first I thought I might have broken a U-joint, but further inspection revealed transmission fluid covered the front underside of the vehicle. The hose failed and fluid was shooting out. I shut the engine off after discovering the issue.
Do you think I may have damaged my transmission due to the loss of fluid? Can you provide recommendations on my next steps that I should follow to replace hoses and transmission fluid? I'm not a mechanic, but I should be able to handle this repair with a little guidance from the experts. After calling several auto parts stores, it appears regular 3/8" bulk hose lineis all they sell. They don't have a regular hose assembly for the Jeep. Thanks for your help and I look forward to hearing your recommendations on how I should proceed to fix this issue.
