Default 96 Accord Transmission Fluid Hose Burst

So I was driving and my car started blowing smoke from the hood and I pulled over on a side street luckily close to my house only to see transmission fluid all over the place and a burst hose. I guess it got damaged when I replaced the radiator yesterday. Anyway I will need to buy a new one tomorrow, is it a generic? Do I ask for a transmission fluid hose?

Automatic Transmissions usually have very high pressures in their hydraulic systems. Anywhere from 70-300psi. Even some of the highest quality high pressure fuel line may not be up to the task.

Go to your Honda parts department and have the parts guy look up "Radiator Hose" on his computer and it will give a diagram and list of parts. Determine which hose you need.
25213-PT0-603 016 001 HOSE (140MM) (BS) List 14.58
25214-P0A-003 017 001 HOSE (290MM) (ATF) List 23.60
25215-P0A-003 018 001 HOSE (290MM) (ATF) List 26.23

I would not chance a parts store hose on this critical item. One if it fails it will leave you stranded, and two hot ATF can flash ignite if exposed to a high heat source such as a hot exhaust pipe.

Gates and many other companys make/produce tran cooler hose....like you were going to install an aftermarket trans cooler. Last time I repaced the rad in the 95 I got a few feet (store sold it by the foot) of trans cooler hose....27058 or 27059 I think was the part number by Gates.
