Need help ASAP about trans cooler!!!

[Jon94]

2006 Ford Ranger

I have a stock external cooler in addition to the one in the radiator. Does the fluid flow from the trans, to the top of the radiator, out the bottom and then to the external cooler?

Or does it flow to the external cooler first, then the bottom of the radiator and out the top??
I really really need this question answered ASAP please please please!!!

The only way to know for sure is to pull off a line, crank the engine over a bit, and see which way the transmission is pushing the fluid through. Traditionally the line in the top of the radiator is fluid going in, and the line on the bottom is fluid going out, so just look at your external cooler lines and see which part of the radiator they are hooked to.

Yea I tried seeing which line it comes out, and both lines started pumping out the same amount of fluid. :scratch: But I later confirmed that it does flow into the top of the radiator first and then the external cooler. Thanks!
