CR3Z-7R081-B not in stock Mustang 2013 5.0 Transmission cooling lines leak
Hello all,
Dealing with some transmission line leaks and one of the line assemblies is not available anymore. Here is the link to the diagram of the parts.
https://www.tascaparts.com/auto-part...il-cooler-scat
I was able to order #2(BR3Z-7R081-C) but not #5(CR3Z-7R081-B) from the diagram.
Went to a few Ford dealerships locally here in Maryland and called some places that offer it online(Tasca, FordPartsGiant, Ford Dealerships in other states, etc) NO ONE HAS THIS IN STOCK!
Some sites say CR3Z-7R081-B is discontinued, some say this part replaced BR3Z-7R081-B. one dealer stated this part is on nationwide back-order with no ETA on availability
Leaks are getting worse daily and I dont want to try any patch work, lines are hard to disconnect as is, may end up breaking something and getting stranded.
My question is, does anyone have any insight why these parts are either discontinued/Not available. Also if anyone has any tips on how to stop the leaking temporarily while I would appreciate any insight on that.

Sorry that I can't help on availability, but just curious how a 2013 would have these issues. I just replaced them on my 08 Ranger. They were rusted up by radiator after 10 years of new England salt and chemicals. If you can't get the parts now, I would patch now so as not to risk damaging trans and get parts and fix right asap. Imo. Not sure but you could cut, flare and replace bad section for now with hard or flexible line.

"B" is the line/tubing, which are all over eBay...
You can always have a shop make the lines, flange them where needed for clamps
instead of using the ford compression fittings. It can be done, we have done it...
I have had to cut sections of trans line out, flange the ends, and clamp hoses
on. Did the same with HHR fuel lines, cut out the rust, flange the cut ends and
clamped on fuel hose...

I may have to go that route, of patching and trying to replace the bad section.

I t checked Ford parts giant that will show the replacement part if one is discontinued, surprisingly CR3Z-7R081-B is replaced by CR3Z-7R081-A. It's the opposite of what ford normally does where a letter designates the Rev version of the part. First Rev is A, second is B and so on.
**CR3Z-7R081-A**

You're right, I hadn't notice https://www.fordpartsgiant.com/parts...s=CR3Z-7R081-A the listing. One says 6spd transmission 5.0, the other says, 6cyl 3.7L. Teach me to read crap on my phone!
Hrm. Well your options are to see if you can find one on say fleabay, have the lines made by a shop or to check a salvage yard all as suggested by others. That's really hard to comprehend though.
