Passenger side is supply and driver's side is return.

I believe the ATF flows top to bottom in the tanks, but will have to check.

Chris- Have you got a copy of the FSM? The electronic version is better than nothing.

Have to wait until the rain ends tomorrow hopefully and I will see if I can determine from the top.

Can't find it in the FSM. Pretty sure I am correct, but that's not good enough.

I doubt it matters what direction it goes in the cooler.

I agree, but if a tank leaks, perhaps it is better top to bottom for some ATF returning to transmission planetary set.

So i assume that line coming out of drivers side of transmission is output,from there it splits and goes in both left and right top ports of radiator,and then passenger side transmission line goes to bottom 2 ports on radiator. Is this assumption correct Q45 TECH or anyone who knows.any input brian! thanks!! SUBZERO
