Transmission cooler lines - which ports

MrJLR · Jul 26, 2020

I have a Champion radiator and ran new cooler lines to the radiator a while back.... (727)
The radiator is an upper / lower tank configuration.
The transmission cooler ports are a left and right configuration on the bottom tank.

Does it matter which line goes to which side?
If the ports were vertical, I'd understand the hot fluid on top and the cooled fluid coming out the bottom but these are horizontal. ...I don't think it matters but thought I'd ask...

Thanks!

Always feed the coolant from the bottom so it pushes upwards . This keeps the tank full without and air pocket.

unless you're in Australia, then it flows backwards

But these are are left and right, not top and bottom. ..

Pressure side /front port on trans return/rear port on the trans. if using a cooler pressure to the rad either side then out to the bottom line on the cooler then back to the trans. Always run through the radiator first and always flow up if there is a bottom and top port on a cooler. Just some info to consider, Thats all.
