700R4 Transmission Lines

[74NovaMan]

I'm getting ready to install my transmission cooler lines. I have a 700R4 and a side tank cooler (stock cooler in the radiator). Does anyone know if it matters which line goes to which fitting? I don't think it could matter much but I am planning on connecting the top fitting on the trans to the top fitting on the radiator.

Please let me know if you agree or if you think it should go the other way. Thanks,

For it to work with a tank , to get it to work its best there should be a proper way. With just a cooler in line it wouldn't. The only way quickly to find out the in and out is to have the trans full and the lines off but going into two small bottles. Then fire it up for a second and see which one gets fluid.

your question.. I had the same one 25 years ago.

it did not matter.

the cooling ended up being the 15 foot run just to get to radiator and back.

Thanks guys.

I was told to install the lines so the fluid is pushed up through the cooler as opposed to pumping it in the top and basically letting it drain down through the cooler... that's all I got.
