Default transmission lines

I have a 2004 Crossfire, automatic. The metal transmission line down the drivers side of the transmission is a little rusty and leaking. This seems to be discontinued part. Does one of the Mercedes fit or do you have to splice in a rubber hose?

Transmission shops or a car repair shop can bend these as required.

59Jag, there are many parts that are compatible with the base framework of the car/drivetrain. Look into an SLK320 series in the (I believe 2001 - 2004 model years) parts list and check the specs of the part your looking for. In the interim, depending on where the leak actually is, you should be able to repair it (temporarily) with a short hose and hose clamps (hose spec'd for transmission fluid of the crossfire). Remember, the crossfire has a certain TYPE of transmission fluid that should/must be used. Good luck!

Thanks. Its hard to get a metal line and bend it from the parts store due to the "Banjo" style fitting on the one end. And the Crossfire line is to large to fit in a 3/8 compression fitting (must be metric). For now i did cut a section out, flared the ends and added rubber transmission line in the middle. Thanks for the suggestions.
