Sorry I've been slow getting back...
From the rearmost fitting on the back of tranny, tube goes forward to rubber tube splice. Metal tube continues forward & then up to passenger side entrance to tranny cooler mounted in front of AC condenser. Tube on drivers side of cooler goes down, runs under rad, then up to bottom fitting on drivers side of radiator tank just above lower rad hose. Top fitting comes out of tank, goes down, turns back toward center of engine compartment & turns back where splice tube is, Then runs back to front fitting of tranny.
Couple of things to note. The rearmost tube arches very high next to tranny where it exits ( to clear cat?) before comming down to run next to the other. They both also come in near contact to the exhaust crossover from drivers side manifold. Both tubes go through a bracket near the front of the engine block. I originaly thought the rubber splice was a non-original repair, till I removed it to drain a bit of fluid & found it bubble flared on both ends.
Hope this helps. Any other Qs, just ask.

That's awesome, one question, which way does the fluid travel when you drain the fluid? Is it leaving from the rear line to the rubber hose or coming from the rubber hose heading to the rear line?
Thanks
