Hi everyone!

Big time lurker first time poster.

I've been reading over the forums about how important it is to get a external transmission cooler for the 3gen.

My set up would be, ATC to the radiator back to the transmission.

I don't know which one the send line or the return line is on the bottom of radiator and I was wondering if anyone could help me out.

I tried checking which line was cooler by touch but they are the same.

Thanks.

Looking at the picture in the section of the manual for changing the fluid, there is short peice of hose connecting to the bottom of the radiator. This is where the fluid exits the radiator to return to the transmisson, so it would be the other hose that you are interested in.

Hi
Welcome to the forums. Drop me a Pm & I will email photos of the trans cooler hoses etc.

Hi,
I have already messaged potty so this is for info. If you are looking at the engine bay on the passenger side & take off the intake snorkel and look down towards the gearbox & auto transmission dipstick, you will see a blanking plug(circles where on the earlier models there was a filter) . Directly to the right of that is a hose which enters the gearbox. That is the in hose to the gearbox, from there just follow the lines. I hope that helps everyone.
