Hose heat shield question

[Motown 454]

I have two -6 AN hoses for my transmision cooling lines they run within 2" of the headers. I'm going to run both lines in a -12 fire sleeve UNLESS someone knows putting both of them in the same sleeve will affect the cooling effectiveness. It will only be where the lines are closest to the heat source, maybe 2'

Thanks

Wayne,
As long as you have your cooler up front getting plenty of air you shouldn't see any issues. Do you have a temp gauge for the trans fluid? If not I would suggest getting one either way, it's good info to have. That way if you ever ran into a problem with cooling the trans you would know soon enough to hopefully avoid any major issues. Remember heat is the #1 killer of an automatic transmission.

Thanks Craig, I do have a temp gauge, yet to be instaled. Thanks!
