A quick question. Which hose, left or right (facing the engine bay) is the return line?

Thanks.

I believe the right is the return line. It's been a awhile since I flushed my tranny. I just opened the lines and started the vehicle for 3-5 sec and the one that doesn't pump fluid is the return line. Also, when you first start the vehicle you can feel the lines and the supply going to the cooler will be slightly warmer. I removed the battery and the battery holder to make access much easier. If you do that you'll need to use jumper cables from the cables to the battery.

Thanks very much sirdeeker. I have been thinking about some inline filtration such as a Magnefine filter though I'm having second thoughts about cutting into the lines, plus there isn't much of a straight run there to install a filter. I've used the Magnefines on other vehicles with good success.
