Hi,

Sounds like a good idea, but I think there is "alot" of pressure in that line!

Be careful to ensure that the fluid doesn't squirt all over the place.

You are better off buying the can of stuff they make for this at the tranny shop. It has solvents that will break-up any contaminants in the cooler. You might try a good parts store, they may have it too.
