Is it safe to cut metal cooler lines to add rubber linkage ?

So I want to install an external filter onto my transmission using the outflow coolant line, Problem is I cant undo the original line from the tranny as I cant get a wrench to it.
Was wondering if it would be ok just to cut the original metal line and attach rubber tubing instead with a couple of hose clamps.

Just make sure to use rubber hose rated for transmission fluid use and might add a couple of these.

Figure if I cut the metal line I got now and slide the new hose 4-5 inches over whats left with a couple of hose clamps I should be fine
