Hi guys. I noticed there was a kinked At hose on my celsior. Is this an issue? Looks like it should go under the bigger hose

Curious as to how much something like this could increase system pressure.

I'd get it fixed instantly. I'm of the opinion that it can't be good for the transmission to have a choked line. Not worth it. Yours looks different than on my 96, but can you put the hose under the radiator hose instead so it's not kinked?

Yes, get those replaced.

Yeah I just switched the lines so the AT hose is under the radiator. I wonder if this kink could increase pressure in the transmission enough to cause a seal to fail.
What ever Muppet put it like that needs to never touch another Lexus. And I need a slap for not noticing until I pulled the lower engine bay shield off.

Some get lazy and or don't want to open the wallet for the factory curved hoses. If the project comes late on a weekend one is pretty stuck using what is available and fixing later. In those instances some just leave it.
