transmission-fluid return line location?

Guys, I am looking at changing my transmission fluid soon and while I have a good grasp on the actual procedure (props to Mark Kovalsky, by the way) I want to be certain that I am looking at the correct line. Is the line the red arrow is pointing at the fluid return line?



For the rest of you, I am doing the ATF fluid change outlined here:

Ok, thanks much. I plan on going to Home Depot to get some carpet padding, but figured I could grab 10' worth of hose while I'm at it. Also, me wonders if they have clear buckets with a measure on the side? That would be nifty. I'll let yall know if I find any!

Hi guys- anyone have a part number for this hard line? The return line that goes into the 4R100. I have the other end of the line that clamps into the smaller hard line up at the radiator

Yes, either at HD or Lowe’s, I purchased one a few years ago, was white/clear, 5 gals and had marked level increments.

Use a marker and mark any bucket using a gallon jug filling it and dumping it in the bucket, mark each gallon level. You could mark by quarts also.
