Exclamation quick question

ok so i was cleaning my rats nest and i was moving the delay valve around to get to other things and i snaped the end to it i was just wondering if i could just bypass it temporarily till i can get another one?oh and its the one coming from the switching shutter valve. btw its an 84 gs with a nikki. another question is can u loosen up rubber hoses by puting them in tranny fluid?

How long is temp lol? Have you tried driving it? Order some silicon hose, remove rats nest, replace all nasty old hoses. I have repaired tubes with JB weld. The trick is getting it to dry with hose on so you only have to push it into the metal side.

No you cannot use ATF, it eats all hoses except transmission hoses!
