can some please post which trany cooler line is the return line - i want to disconnect it and put it in a bucket when i change out my tranny fluid so i can do a full change out. any pics would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance,
vc

 

Kind of hard to explain, but the "hot" line goes from the tranny to the heat exchanger/cooler mounted on the engine. The return line should go from the tranny cooler by the radiator straight back to the trans. That would be the line you want. Hope that makes some kind of sense.

 

ok - i'll look and see if i can spot the one from cooler to tranny - i appreciate the help.

Here's a clear pic of the "hot" line (the line you don't want). It has a temp sensor installed in this pic.

The return line that you want is paired with that "hot" line. You can't see it very well in the pic, but basically it's the other line (there's only 2 of them there).

 

Rear line on transmission is the cooler return line.

 

thank you folks - i appreciate it.
