Tranny hack fix

On my 300d the steel cooler line from the tranny to the front of the car cracked while on the highway. My quick and dirty fix was to splice a piece of rubber fuel hose with clamps in it's place. Worked fine, still not leaking. MB wants almost $300.00 for the steel line, have not found it here at Fastlane but also not called in to check. Does anyone know if the fix I came up with is ok, or am I looking at failure very soon and should I replace this line? Saw the leak before any damage to the tranny, looked like a fogging machine when it broke. Since I carry extra fluids, hose, etc was able to fix on the side of the road.
