Hey, guys, I've searched for this everywhere but couldn't find the answer.

When you do a tranny flush, the manual includes this pic:

I looked at this tutorial (http://web.archive.org/web/20060114130601/http://www.mynameistitobhoy.com/Tutorials/TrannyFlush/) but still couldn't figure out the answer to my question. I want to connect a hose to the RETURN line from the cooler and kind of assumed that if I disconnect the black hose shown in the picture and connect my hose to the nipple that's coming out from the far right on the radiator, I should be good.

But then I had my doubts. So before I make a mess, can someone tell me, is that the return line in the picture from the manual, does the fluid travel right or does it travel left?


Edit: all right, just went ahead and tried it. Liquid squirted from both, but the nipple is the return, so I was right to connect the hose to the nipple. Man, this fluid is nasty, lots of very fine shavings on the magnetic plug too :(
